Loire

Aromas of honey and honeysuckle can be found on the nose, on the palate it is light, dry and crisp, with well balanced acidity and a long lingering finish of quince, melon and honeydew. Best drunk young.

Clean, crisp Sauvignon Blanc from the grape's Loire home, this is scented with fresh grass, limestone and citrus and both stone and fruit follow the wine onto the tongue.

A delicate aroma of ripe fruit, a mouthful of pears with a spray of lemon and a freshness that's almost menthol characterise this fine Sancerre from a top producer.

Pretty slightly amber shade. Of beautiful intensity, the nose opens on a floral background that are embellished with notes of boxwood, hazelnut and citrus. A wide mouth and structured by a liveliness rich in candied citrus supported by a beautiful acidity giving it a good length. A touch of mentholated and saline bitterness come to raise the end of the palate.

The clean, pure gooseberry flavour of Sauvignon Blanc is gentled and rendered charming by aromas of tropical fruit, without losing the signature flinty elegance of the Sancerre region of the Loire Valley.

Philippe Guerin makes some absolutely cracking Muscadet with a surprising amount of fruit showing notes of white pears, white currants, fresh herbs and a salty, mineral tang.
