Another informative trade tasting on the Loire valley organized in London by Charles Sydney Wines, a specialist on this region who is based in London.
Here are my notes from my favorite wines of the day.
Generation XIX, Sancerre blanc 2020
The name indicates that this is a product of the 19th generation of wine producers in the Mellot family. Perfectly balanced oak-fermented sauvignon, mod long and complex. RRP £40. Score 93.
Edmond, Sancerre Blanc, 2020
A full bodied oak-fermented sauvignon, very complex and long. A harmonious wine. RRP £45. Score 95.
Triple Zero (no sugar, no bottle fermentation, no dosage) pétillant naturel
Smooth and mod long, good value. RRP £13, Score 89
Remus Montlouis 2022
Blend of different plots, very smooth and long chenin blanc. RRP £15. Score 90
Clos Michel Montlouis 2022
Better balance than predecessor. RRP 16, Score 92
Clos de Husseau, 2022
Minerality emerges from this single plot wine. RRP 17, score 92
I also tasted several sweet wines, but to be honest I was not overly impressed, a bit too sweet and sticky. Here they are.
Château Pierre Bise Coteaux du Layon Rochefort 2022, RRP £11, Score 86
Château Pierre Bise Quarts des Chaue Grand Cru 2022, RRP £ 22.40, Score 85.
Domaine des Forges, Quart de Chaume Grand Cru 2021, RRP £19.70, Score 84
