Textbook #loirevalley #cabernetfranc, this one from #touraine ; It was late in the evening after happy hour so notes are a bit more approximate than usual. 😜 Pyrazines active, green pepper notes, shy black/purple fruit, soft tannins and a vegetal earthiness on the palate. It could have been served cooler by the bar but nice night cap nonetheless. — 2 years ago

Love the mango flavor - pretty full bodied and rounded, some acidity but looking for more tension. #touraine — 7 years ago

Wow! Mango, guava, coconut, pea shoot, galangal, autolysis. White Bordeaux-like density & texture. Easily will go 2-3 more years in a cool cellar. #touraine #sauvignonblanc #loirevalley — 8 years ago

Interesting #sauvignonblanc driven by melon and citrus. Med complexity, nice structure. Okay finish dominated by an intriguing bitterness and grip. #louisdressner #sarlpierreolivierbonhomme #touraine #loirevalley #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

It's hot. A great everyday wine for seafood, chicken, veggies, or just beating the heat. #touraine #sauvignonblanc — 10 years ago

Richer #touraine #sauvignonblanc - jasmine, dried white flower, hay aromas - delicious on the tongue, pleasing viscous texture from lees aging, honeysuckle, touch of orange marmalade and hints of white pepper on finish. Plenty of acidity framing the whole experience. Intriguing, complex #loirevalley white from Domaine Paul Buisse. Righteous QPR #costco wine. — 4 years ago

Deep ruby hue with fuchsia rim. Medium tearing. Nose is complex with notes of stewed strawberry and rhubarb, cherry preserves, fresh mint, lemongrass, coriander, ginger, and delicate leather notes. Medium acidity, fresh raspberry and strawberry and crushed gravel notes on the palate. #chinon #cabernetfranc #touraine #lespenséesdepallus #bertrandsourdais #domainedepallus — 7 years ago

Coppery salmon color. Poppin’ underripe strawberry aroma. Zippy strawberry and nectarine that just doesn’t quit. Despite today’s snow, Spring is on! #roseallday #cabfranc #touraine #loirewine — 8 years ago

This #sauvingnonblanc is pale yellow in the glass. Smells of lemon zest, nectarines, Asian pear, celery brine. Round on the palate. Fine powdery minerals, orange zest. Super refreshing. Opened 3/25/17 — 9 years ago

Pale yellow gold color with chalk, yeast, under ripe white peach, and lemon peel aromas. On the palate it's fresh, and dry with a soft creamy mousse with bruised apple, chalk and lemon peel flavors. 2013 Vintage #enofylzwineblog #loire #touraine #wineophiles — 10 years ago

#Touraine #CabernetFranc for a lunchtime lay-over @OneFlewSouthATL. Tasty! — 12 years ago

Razzy, with a bouquet of lemon verbena and oregano immersed in lime and chalk. Real depth here, with gooseberry predominate, and fresh sage a close second. Tangerine and grapefruit pith paying dividends. Generous, with the acid to back it up. Highly recommended.

Pic #3. 2013 Domaine Huet, Le Mont, Vouvray Sec. Golden hue with notes of melon, honeydew, cantaloupe, pear, white flowers, and grapefruit on the palate. Well-balanced and complemented the Lake Superior whitefish served in a mussel jus, with guanciale, and Brussels sprouts. Also in this pic is a tortellini enveloping a bite of good thunder cheese, tossed with zucchini agrodolce, baby corn, Swiss chard, and black trumpet mushrooms (which was paired with the Barbera on next pic, 4) #vouvray #cheninblanc #winesofloire #loirevalley #touraine — 7 years ago

Sour cherries, cassis, rhubarb and flint. Done in the 'natural', transparent way, so it's excellent chilled. Clean, fresh, explosive and glou-glou. #vincentricard #touraine #gamay #pineaudaunis — 9 years ago

A year like 2015 allows this cuvée to show at its best. Ripe, surprisingly good acidity (my issue with some Loire '15s), texturally perfect. Not your average, one-dimensional Touraine. #vincentricard #touraine #sauvignonblanc — 9 years ago

#touraine #cabfranc #loire a more #newworld take with more extraction and new oak compared to other cab francs yet, given the challenging climate conditions of 2013, it's a solid wine and a crowd pleaser. Started off shy and then really opened up. Drank the whole bottle — 10 years ago

The last from my #Touraine tasting. Nice structure but perhaps a bit lean. — 13 years ago
