From: Loire Valley, France
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Notes: We thought hard about how we could write an original tasting note that would paint as clear and concise of a picture of this wine as Anthony Lynch, but we were stumped.
”If only every Sauvignon Blanc could taste like this! Nothing grassy or tropical about this little number from the eastern part of the Loire's Touraine region. Instead, picture lime blossoms delivered via a lightning bolt of minerally refreshment, with more zippy citrus and blossoming flowers leaving your palate cleansed and utterly charmed." –Anthony Lynch
Pairing: The delicate nature of this Sauvignon Blanc provides a heavenly pairing with the high-quality but simple ingredients used in David Tanis’ recipe for Cucumber-Ricotta Sandwiches.
About. Made by a pair of fifth generation, quality-conscious brothers, this dry white from the Cheverny region in the Loire Valley is made of 100% Sauvignon Blanc. The complex soils of deep limestone and chalk that nourish the 22 year-old vines that this wine comes from imbue it with incredible complexity and Loire terroir. Domaine du Salvard has been a working domaine since 1898 in the Delaille family.
