Muscadet as it should be. Fruity, fresh, dry and fragrant. Subtle, zingy & fresh with superb tinglyness & light yeastiness. Sadly a wine that has gone out of fashion - this one may relight some 'old' candles!!

Outstanding Loire Valley Cabernet Franc - from an amazing Estate in the Saumur Champigny region of the Loire. the 2003 is big smooth open & full.

 | SANCERRE Michel Brock AC 2005/6
Sancerre is renouned as the best Sauvignon in the World! New Zealand is fast catching up with some superb wines. I believe this to be the best Sancerre at the price. Fresh , crisp, dry and zingy but with some sweeter freshness that just jumps out of the glass - but then the aftertaste just carries on & on. The 2004 vintage is brilliant but sadly on allocation & only a limited quantity available - buy while it is still available.

 | POUILLY FUME Domaine le Petit Soumard AC 2005/6
Sauvignon from just across the Loire from Sancerre - Slightly different , maybe a bit smoother & rounder if you could say that about a fresh zingy crisp dry Sauvignon. Petit Soumard like to keep their wines for a while in bottle for roundness. Great style & value - yes - value at £10.45! Another wine that is on srict allocation.
