Very soft, ripe grapefruit and kumquat flavors, lifted by acidity. The wine is broad, full in the mouth, crispness well integrated. Great final fruit.

Clean, clear Sauvignon, as fresh as can be, but with some fatness to it. There are good gooseberry and green herb flavors, only the lightest of textures. Drink now.

Menetou-Salon is a near neighbor of Sancerre. Its wines are, like this, lighter and leaner than the better-known appellation. This wine displays a soft but herbaceous, grassy character with a steely edge. Drink now.
