Domaine Haut Perron Sauvignon Blanc

This is a very good wine with more fruit forward Apple and citrus than I expect from Loire.

Same region as the previous Sauv Blanc I blind tasted, Touraine, but completely different. Grapefruit and citrus fruit nose, fresh and crisp on the pallet with high acidity. Nice warm day wine which is opposite of what the weather is like in the Netherlands right now.

2014, quite simple

Classic Loire that shines without a heavy grassiness. Sharp acidity on the attack and finish, but jasmine flowers and matcha give it complexity and depth. Lime and white grapefruit compliment its salinity. Good bang for you buck.

For the price an excellent SV in the traditional Loire style. One can pay more and get much less. Very well balanced, nuanced flower and white fruit on the tongue, long clean finish. Not just a casual cool drink for summer as some have said, and no relation to CA or certainly not NZ SVs. More clarity and focus while presenting nice unfolding flavors. As a good Loire SV ought. NZ CA have their charm too, but different. I'm not arguing for a grand cru by any means, just saying this is better than the price would suggest at least in this vintage.

Acidic, slight effervescence, very fruity. - Cave de Bruno

Hint of grapefruit & honeysuckle on the nose.

Fresh and bright. Has decent body for a SB. Lies between a California and a New Zealand SB.
