Classic Loire Whites

The Loire is synonymous with great Sauvignon Blanc. This case shows you precisely why, starting with an exquisite Sancerre that reveals the magical influence of the Caillotte limestone beneath Domaine des Buissonnes. It’s a riveting Sauvignon whose minerality cuts through goat’s cheese to perfection. Iconic neighbour Pouilly-Fumé provides a smoky, flinty classic in Domaine de Bel Air Cuvée des Papillons while Touraine’s Le Grand Maré is much loved for its ripeness and citrus intensity. Finally, there’s Les Perrières, an amazing Muscadet from the Gadais family’s top vineyard that offers orchard fruit flavours and terrific richness thanks to part barrel fermentation and 32 months’ lees ageing.
