Bright, fresh Muscadet, brimming with simple apple and citrus fruit flavors. There’s a touch of almond, clean herbal flavors and some tongue prickling lightness.

Very green, with a hint of toast, this estate Muscadet has plenty of definition. It is rich, full-bodied, with flavors of ripe pears, pink grapefruit and lemon thyme. The acidity is certainly there, but is almost a background to the many other flavors.

A nutty, mineral driven wine, with flavors of pears and limes coming through a dry acid layer which gives considerable freshness. This is light, elegant, very crisp and dry to finish.

This is a full style of Vouvray, rich, complex, with almonds and concentrated fruit flavors. The balance and elegance are exemplary, ripe but freshened with red apples, pears and a touch of tannic structure. It shows what a few years age can do for Chenin Blanc wines.

On the rich side for a Muscadet, with an earthy character, sage and lemongrass flavors touched with gala apple creaminess. This certainly has a riper side than many a Muscadet.

Citrus and white peach aromas promise a tropical SB. And that’s what the palate offers, with rich peach and apricot flavors, with plenty of fresh acidity, almonds and ripe fruit.

A hard-edged Chenin Blanc, lean, quite austere with almonds and green herbs dominating the fruit. Freshness is missing here, giving way much more to structure.

Juicy white currants and soft almond flavors go into this medium-dry wine. It has some softness and richness, but there is also a firm edge of structure and minerality to it. The aftertaste hints at sulfur.

Full, rounded wine, with herbs, some green tobacco and spice flavors. This is fresh, but full, well balanced and with a creamy apple aftertaste.

Haut-Poitou, to the south of the Loire Valley, specializes in fresh, crisp Sauvignon Blanc like this herbal, grassy wine, dominated by grapefruit, green berries and some sage. There’s a cool structure to it, leaving freshness.
