Loire

Mineral/gun flint scented nose with a medium bodied palate full of pears, apples and citrus fruits. A superb example of Pouilly Fume

Quincy is a tiny Appellation to the west of Sancerre, making some of the best value Sauvignons in France. Citrus-led, this has excellent minerality and a light, deft touch

It's really refreshing to drink a properly French style Sauvignon at last. Elegant, herbal and uplifting, here's to a true taste of the Loire

Balland's Sancerres are rich in style and all hand made. This cuvee spends a little time in large oak barrels for structure, creaminess, mouth feel and ageability. Is ageability a word? Not too sure really, but I like it.

Delicious, off dry Chenin Blanc, serves not only as a summer whistle-whetter but perfect with oriental dishes: Sushi or a mild Tandoori fish dish.
