La Clef du Récit Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc
Sancerre, Central Vineyards, Loire Valley, France
I smell some lemon pithe, a waft of pine needle, and something more earthy but at the same time sweet - like dried up flower blossom honey or candy cap mushrooms. The earthiness, lemon and pine notes all carry onto the tongue- What you smell is what you get. I like it because its not conceded or elegant - it's almost a hearty version of SVB. Finishes with a lot of chalk/ limestone- give it a good slosh around the jowels and it develops a froth as if it had some sodium carbonate in it.
A very reasonable $23 at ABC
