Bijou and hand-made single vineyard Sauvignon from the Loire's rising star appellation: Menetou-Salon.

For five centuries, the Mellot dynasty have run this estate bordering Sancerre. Its tiny Clos de Pressoir vineyard has just 4 hectares of Sauvignon vines and benefits from a similar, fossil-rich soil. The resulting wine is herbaceous with grapefruit notes and a creamy, crushed seashell minerality. Think lemon meringue pie!

Sauvignon Blanc, 2010, Dry, Light bodied, 13.0%, Cork
