2018 Chinon Rosé, Domaine de la Semellerie, Loire

2018 Chinon Rosé, Domaine de la Semellerie, Loire
Domaine de la Semellerie, Drink now,
This is such a moreish, refreshing wine from our friends at Domaine de la Semellerie. Half the blend is from Cabernet Franc grapes that are pressed (as though making a white), while the other half is juice drawn off from the domaine’s excellent red. Expect enticing aromas of strawberry laces and just a touch of peppery spice. The palate is light-bodied, with the lively acidity that’s among the hallmarks of Chinon. This a fabulous ap’eritif and versatile food wine – try it with lamb koftas or barbecued chicken wings. Drink now to 2020.

2018 Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie, Domaine la Haute Févrie, Loire

2018 Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie, Domaine la Haute Févrie, Loire
Domaine la Haute Fevrie, Muscadet, Drink now,
This exemplary Muscadet is blended from several parcels, all of which are organically certified and harvested by hand. It combines aromas of citrus and white flowers, with just-perceptible spritz and a long, distinctly saline finish, redolent of the nearby Atlantic. A great accompaniment to oysters and mussels, it also works well with hard cheeses such as Comté. Drink now to 2021.

2018 Vouvray, Spring, Sec, Vincent Carême, Loire

2018 Vouvray, Spring, Sec, Vincent Carême, Loire
Vincent Careme, Vouvray, Drink now,
Spring is the perfect name for this exceptionally fresh, limpid cuvée made from grapes grown by friends of Vincent and Tania – many of them former pupils of Vincent at the viticultural college in Amboise. It’s characterised by green apple and citrus aromas, with a steely mineral character on the palate. Bottled with very little sulphur, it’s a wine to enjoy over the next couple of years as an apéritif or, better still, with an assortment of shellfish. Drink now to 2021.

2018 Reuilly Pinot Gris, Les Chatillons, Denis Jamain, Loire

2018 Reuilly Pinot Gris, Les Chatillons, Denis Jamain, Loire
Denis Jamain, Reuilly, Drink now,
This fabulous rosé is made exclusively from Pinot Gris, grown in the Chatillons vineyard, which Denis harvests first to deliver a wine with great freshness, as well as texture and complexity. On the nose, expect aromas of rose petal, red fruit and an intriguing hint of orange peel. Four months on its fine lees adds a touch more weight to the palate. A versatile food wine, it works particularly well with poached salmon. Drink now to 2020.

2018 Reuilly Blanc, Les Pierres Plates, Denis Jamain, Loire

2018 Reuilly Blanc, Les Pierres Plates, Denis Jamain, Loire
Denis Jamain, Reuilly, Drink now,
From a south-facing, three-hectare parcel, this superb Reuilly Blanc is more than a match for most Sancerres. Kimmeridgian clay-limestone lies beneath the surface of the vineyard, which is strafed with the eponymous pierres plates. Even in a warm vintage like 2018, this is an intensely mineral wine, with an enticing but relatively discrete bouquet, chalky texture and long, gently saline finish. Drink now to 2021.

2018 Sancerre, Les Renardières, Domaine de la Rossignole, Loire

2018 Sancerre, Les Renardières, Domaine de la Rossignole, Loire
Domaine de la Rossignole, Drink now,
This wine’s subtle peachy aroma hints at 2018’s warm growing season, but brothers François and Jean-Marie upped the proportion of fruit from flinty soils to ensure this blend remains fresh and mineral on the palate. A versatile food wine, it works well with anything from asparagus risotto to Thai fish cakes. Drink now to 2022.

2018 Sancerre, Les Boucauds, Domaine Riffault, Loire

2018 Sancerre, Les Boucauds, Domaine Riffault, Loire
Domaine Riffault, Drink now,
Expressive and voluptuous, with aromas of orchard fruit and lemon confit, Les Boucauds is raised in a judicious combination of oak (70% of the blend) and concrete. Open and up-front it may be, but this cuvée shows remarkable persistence on the palate, culminating in the mineral “wet stone” finish characteristic of the best wines of Sancerre. Already certified organic, Stéphane began farming Les Boucauds biodynamically in 2018. Drink now to 2023.

2018 Sancerre, Les Chasseignes, Domaine Riffault, Loire

2018 Sancerre, Les Chasseignes, Domaine Riffault, Loire
Domaine Riffault, Ready, but will keep,
Chasseignes is a cooler, more (lime)stoney site than Boucauds, giving a more focused, mineral wine which Stéphane chooses to age in large oak foudres and 350-litre barrels. The nose is complex, with aromas of spice, white flowers and lemon, while the palate is pithy, almost tannic, and segues into a long, refreshing finish redolent of lemon and quinine. What a match for oysters this would be! Drink now to 2023.
