Notes:
Struggled to find much information on this wine or the producer. References seem to be largely from German sites so that is probably the main market. Will update if we come across anything else.
Somnambulist's verdict: A very pleasant, drinkable Sauvignon Blanc, if a little uninspiring. Smooth, quiet and lemony, with a touch of citrus acidity. Wouldn't pay up for it.
I like that a lot...ƒuissé is not bad either :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sylvie, I shall look out for a good pouilly-fuisse and report back!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog!I spent half my life drinking everything but wine.Fortunately I discovered wines!!Everything moment of the process is fascinating since it starts in the fields till the moment we drink it!If you ever visit Portugal go to Oporto and visit the cellars(do not know if this is the word for the place where the wine rests before being bottled or already in bottles... you know...or go deep into the country,up river Douro to see where it is cultivated!Just a suggestion,of course...:))
ReplyDeleteNice idea for a blog :-)
ReplyDeleteI love wine, used to run a wine shop (within a department store).. such a great joy selecting the wines to sell & recommending what goes wih what food etc. Got out of touch really what is around so I will watch with interest.
My current fav is Rioja Blanco 2007 Marqués de Cáceres .. yum...
@Belinha - Hi obrigado for dropping by! I have been to Portugal many times and have a special regard for that wonderful country, its people and the most beautiful language in the world.
ReplyDeleteThey make some very fine wines as well!
Ate logo :-)
(cellars is absolutely the right word)
@70s - You ran a wine shop? Wow.. one of my dream jobs :-)
ReplyDeleteI have long been a fan of Marques de Caceres since being introduced to it by my ex-father-in-law a dozen or so years ago. The Reserva is terriffic and will definitely be appearing on these pages before too long...
yep lived the dream in the late 80s my oh my how fab it was. Have always fancied/dreamed about having my own wine bar/coffee shop chilling place .. very bohemian, fine art and fine wine
ReplyDeleteNot tried M de C's Reserva as much as I like red it doesn't like me so stick to white
@70s - Well, well.. for 20 years I have had this idea of a cafe / wine bar / gallery combo just bubbling away on the back burner. I know where to come for help if it ever gets off the ground! ;-)
