The ever-popular Loire Valley classic Sancerre wins again with this delightfully racy, razor-fresh, old-vine sauvignon blanc from winemaking team Noël and Jean-Luc Raimbault. The village of Sury-en-Vaux is a gem situated on almost pure silex soils from the Kimmeridgian plateau, perhaps the most sought-after vineyard terroir in Europe for white wines. Light golden and shimmering hues reveal an elegant bouquet of citrus and tropical hints such as lychee, rambutan, crisp Meyer lemon and tangerine, with a sharp and refreshing depth of mineral purity. Every cheese and fish dish would grace this wine and its ineffable allure, including pan-fried truite amandine, roasted cod with white beans and cilantro, haddock baked with paprika and chickpeas, sea bass over hot noodle and pea salad, and seared tuna steak or anchovies with bulgar salad.
