Sipping Fine Wine

Domaine du Salvard has been a working domaine since 1898, through five hardworking generations of the Delaille family. Light straw with stone and tropical fruit aromas. On the palate crisp apple with lemon citrus notes. This medium-body wine was smooth and a mineral touch with overall good balance. The wine finishes with a savory touch on a mid-length ending. Nice value!

15% chard gives this an exceptional roundness along with the cutting chalky mineral notes and salty preserved lemon fruit. And half the price of Sancerre.

Great lively acidity with a nice mouthfeel. Delightful juice for the money: close to Sancerre for half the price. Herbal grapefruit flavors but balanced with an almost kiwi finish.

A nice dry white blend 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Chard pale gold in the glass with notes of lemon grass, strong gooseberry, green herbs, dill and crushed gravel. Bone dry, light body, excellent balance.

Clean, crisp, yes grapefruit and grass but lighter than most full Sauvignon Blancs due to the 15% Chardonnay. Easy drinking and versatile 🔥

$16 in CC. Nothing special. Not a repeat. Fruity.
