2019 Coteaux du Giennois Blanc (Bardin, Domaine Cedrick)Cedrick Bardin, Coteaux du Giennois Blanc, Loire Valley, France 2019 {sustainable} 100% Sauvignon Blanc ZESTY GRAPEFRUIT & TROPICAL NOTES, FRAGRANT & FIRM Cédrick Bardin’s domaine (and dominion!) is a patchwork of property in Sancerre, Pouilly, and here, a few acres in heart of the lesser-known Coteaux du Giennois. Taking its name from the town of Gien, this appellation lies immediately to the north of its more famous neighbors and provides Bardin with a different, still excellent, expression for the estate’s starring variety, Sauvignon Blanc. Dominated by dark, clay-comprised soils, this plot yields subtler yet potentially more exotic character with tropical undercurrents shining through the more typical citric overtones. Yum! Serving Suggestion: Calamari tempura. Ceviche. Chèvre & other goat cheeses.$19.99 each |
