2017 Sauvignon de Touraine, Raphael Midoir, Domaine de Bellevue

2017 Sauvignon de Touraine, Raphael Midoir, Domaine de Bellevue
Domaine Bellevue, Drink now,
This consistently delicious Sauvignon Blanc comes from one of the Touraine appellation’s best addresses. It’s a blend of fruit from numerous parcels, which Raphaël expertly assembles to create a wine that’s fresh and expressive – with enticing white fruit and herbaceous aromas – yet rounded. It’s raised exclusively in stainless steel, and bottled in the spring following harvest. A supremely versatile wine, try it with fish, chicken, salads or oriental dishes. Drink now to 2020.

2017 Sauvignon de Touraine, Jean-Christophe Mandard

2017 Sauvignon de Touraine, Jean-Christophe Mandard
Jean-Christophe Mandard, Touraine, Drink now,
This is a classic Loire Sauvignon, with hints of grass and blackcurrant leaf, as well as more pronounced aromas of kiwi and passionfruit. The palate is medium-bodied, with medium to high acidity. So fresh, friendly and easy to drink, this is a great apéritif, but equally at home with vegetable moussaka, asparagus dishes or – winemaker Jean-Christophe’s recommendation – snails.
Drinking brilliantly now, and for the next two years.

2017 Chinon Rouge, Domaine de la Semellerie

2017 Chinon Rouge, Domaine de la Semellerie
Domaine de la Semellerie, Drink now,
Bright, fresh and varietal, this red from Domaine de la Semellerie can't fail to entice. Expect aromas of red berries, flowers and pencil shavings. Winemaker/proprietor Fabrice Delalande assembles a blend of fruit from parcels on low-lying clay soils and limestone soils on a southeast-facing slope: the former terroir contributes structure – although this remains light-bodied – while the latter accounts for those fabulous aromatics. Drink now to 2020.

2017 Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie, Gras Moutons, Dom. la Haute Févrie

2017 Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie, Gras Moutons, Dom. la Haute Févrie
Domaine la Haute Fevrie, Muscadet, Drink now,
The soils of the Gras Moutons vineyard are strewn with distinctive metamorphic rocks known as amphibolites, to which winemaker Sébastien Branger attributes this wine’s tense, mineral palate and salty tang. On the nose, expect aromas of lemon and white grapefruit – the ’09, recently tasted at the domaine, had developed gorgeous honeyed notes too, but remained fresh as a daisy. Les Gras Moutons can go toe to toe with many a Premier Cru Chablis, and is a peerless accompaniment to oysters. Drink now to 2025

2017 Reuilly Blanc, Les Pierres Plates, Denis Jamain

2017 Reuilly Blanc, Les Pierres Plates, Denis Jamain
Denis Jamain, Reuilly, Drink now,
Les Pierres Plates Blanc consistently outshines many wines from the more prestigious appellations of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. That’s no surprise when one considers the vineyard’s superb terroir. The 2017 is showing brilliantly now: it’s bright and expressive on the nose, with lashings of citrus fruit, as well as subtle tropical and savoury notes. The palate may be relatively round and generous, in keeping with the warm vintage, but there’s plenty of acidity, and a steely, mineral character to the long finish. This is impeccably balanced. Drink now to 2021.

2017 Sancerre Blanc, Alban Roblin, Loire

2017 Sancerre Blanc, Alban Roblin, Loire
Domaine Roblin, Drink now,
We’ve been hugely impressed by Alban Roblin since he joined our roster of suppliers in 2018. His Sancerre Blanc stands out for its pronounced floral character, which Alban attributes to the high proportion of terres blanches soil on his 12-hectare domaine. The finish, redolent of preserved lemons, is long and moreish. Drink now to 2021.

2017 Pouilly-Fumé, Domaine Thibault, André Dezat
Andre Dezat, Drink now,
The nose is classic Pouilly-Fumé, with aromas of citrus, apple and grass, as well as a beguiling smoky note. The palate is relatively rich (owing to a warm vintage) yet fresh, with a long, mineral finish. This works a treat with dishes as diverse as goats’ cheese, oysters or tomates farcies.

2017 Sancerre Rosé, Les Epsailles, Domaine David Sautereau

2017 Sancerre Rosé, Les Epsailles, Domaine David Sautereau
Dme. David Sautereau, Sancerre, Drink now,
Sancerre rosé from a quality producer like David Sautereau is a delightful, versatile wine that combines complexity with a sense of insouciance. David’s 2017 is a case in point. It’s characterised by floral and red berry aromas, fine tannins and “crunchy” acidity. A natural accompaniment to salads or poached salmon, it has sufficient personality to stand up to richer dishes too, such as Moroccan lamb tagine. Drink now to 2022.

2017 Sancerre Blanc, Domaine Thierry Merlin-Cherrier

2017 Sancerre Blanc, Domaine Thierry Merlin-Cherrier
Domaine Thierry Merlin-Cherrier, Drink now,
Thierry bottled his ’17 a little later than usual – in December ’18 – but this remains tightly wound, and may take a year or two to reach its apogee. For the time being, on the nose, varietal character plays second fiddle to the beguiling “marine” aromas we associate, primarily, with Chablis – just a (lime)stone’s throw away. A wine of real class and complexity, which unfurls regally in the glass, and will continue to do so in the bottle over the next five years. Drink now to 2024.

2017 Sancerre Blanc, Les Epsailles, Domaine David Sautereau

2017 Sancerre Blanc, Les Epsailles, Domaine David Sautereau
Dme. David Sautereau, Sancerre, Drink now,
Tenth-generation winemaker David Sautereau has produced an exemplary Sancerre, with aromas of white pepper, grass, citrus and tropical fruit. There’s texture and acidity aplenty, and a saline, “oyster shell” character to the palate, which David attributes to the fossil-rich soils around the village of Crézancy.

This is drinking brilliantly now, but consider tucking it away for five years, then marvel at its combination of complexity and evergreen freshness. Drink now to 2024.

2017 Vouvray Sec, Vincent Carême, Loire
Vincent Careme, Vouvray, Ready, but will keep,
This 2017 Sec is simply superb, with slightly lower acidity than the ’16, but extra weight and texture owing to the warmth of the vintage. The nose is characterised by orchard and stone-fruit, and a hint of almond. Vincent’s Sec is blended from a handful of parcels, all farmed organically. It is raised in foudres and 400-litre barrels (5% of which are new).

Expect the 2017 develop gracefully in bottle for up to a decade, or enjoy it today with sushi or shellfish. Drink now to 2027.

2017 Sancerre Blanc, Brigitte et Daniel Chotard

2017 Sancerre Blanc, Brigitte et Daniel Chotard
Simon et Daniel Chotard, Sancerre, Drink now,
This is an exemplary Sancerre, raised in a combination of stainless steel and large oak foudres, which add breadth to the palate but no discernible oaky aromas – indeed, the nose is a paean to Sauvignon Blanc, with aromas including grass, gooseberry and passionfruit. There’s a slight smoky character to the long, fresh finish. A memorable match for warm goats’ cheese.

2017 Pouilly-Fumé, Prestige, Seguin Père et Fils, Loire

2017 Pouilly-Fumé, Prestige, Seguin Père et Fils, Loire
Domaine Seguin et Fils, Drink now,
Philippe Séguin is the fourth generation of winemakers at this family estate located in Pouillysur- Loire, the village located across the river from Sancerre and famous for its smoky (fumé) style of Sauvignon Blanc. This is the property’s top wine, made from their oldest vines planted on all three of the region’s soil types (marl, limestone and flint).

This is explosively aromatic with notes of grapefruit, peach and white flowers. The palate offers surprising breadth, with a rounded mouth-feel and crisp acidity. While it is enjoyable when young, the wine will develop a beguiling gun-smoke and anise character with a couple of years in bottle. Drink now to 2022.

2017 Sancerre Rouge, La Noue, Domaine Riffault, Loire

2017 Sancerre Rouge, La Noue, Domaine Riffault, Loire
Domaine Riffault, Ready, but will keep,
This cuvée was one of the highlights of my springtime trip to the Loire with Buyer Adam Bruntlett. Stéphane used to de-stem the grapes (he has 2.3 hectares of Pinot in the Noue vineyard) but found the wine too chewy, so now makes it with whole bunches, accounting for the 2017’s delightful floral and crushed strawberry aromas. The palate is light to medium-bodied, with racy acidity and supple – rather than chewy – tannins. Bravo Stéphane! Drink now to 2023.
