2008 Chateau de Sancerre

Hello white wine weather! If you are like us, this sunshine makes us think of one thing and one thing only: sitting on the deck and enjoying a bottle of crisp, refreshing white wine. One of our favorite new editions to the list is the 2008 Chateau de Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc. Although Sauvignon Blancs from the Loire Valley of France are typically much more austere and lean, the 2008 vintage shows more generous fruit, with notes of lemon and grapefruit and a hint of tropical fruit on the nose, while the palate retains the bright acidity, dry finish and hint of minerality for which the region is so well known. Enjoy this wine with our crab and beet salad as well as our roasted Alaskan halibut.
