Bailly-Reverdy
La Mercy-Dieu Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc
Sancerre, Central Vineyards, Loire Valley, France
White gold to light straw. Faintest sweet propane note shows grapefruit peel and green apple, flinty and broken rocks, lemon oils, lime pith and cold fat. Rich lemon juiciness with zest of lime, salted lemon, white grapefruit. Citrus rich fruitiness booms, but finish of chalky and dry grapefruit pith brings a refreshing salivation, instantly and stunningly impressive.

Good, but not great. Lacks minerality an Sancerre presence.

When working in wine retail the week before Christmas, take out is a must and stalwart pairings like pho and Sancerre on a rainy December evening don’t let you down. Riper fruit: lime, lemongrass, some white peach, white pepper & flintiness. Fuller body (a veritable 14.5% ABV - welcome to Sancerre in the age of global warming!)

I'm not usually swept away by Sauvignon Blanc, so I tend to tiptoe around France's big SB appellations, Sancerre & Pouilly-Fumé. So glad I didn't judge this SB by first impression of its green nose of grassy gooseberry, riper palate & zingy, nettled finish. Exhilaration arose later with a striking chalky minerality showing under a lacy trace of honeyed orange blossom playing across the tongue like butterflies in flight. Yummmy! :)
