Coteaux de giennois , France
The Coteaux de Giennois region is also known as the 'rising star of the Loire'. The region is located in the easternmost part of the Loire, just above Sancerre. Its soil is similar to that of the mythical regions of Sancerre, Menetou-Salon and Pouilly-Fumé. This calcareous soil consists of a combination of flint and kimmeridge clay. On this soil, sauvignon blanc flourishes like no other. You taste the characteristic minerality, refined acidity and a slight florality. Sancerre, eat your heart out!

,Quite fruity and fresh, a bit sweet though, but clearly better than what’s on the other stores atm. 3.7/5 stars I would personally give. I was not amazed, but it was decent.

Lekker fris en sprankelend. Klein beetje ziltig. Lekker!

Buitengewoon verrassend, deze lichte en toch rijke Sauvignon. Makkelijk op de tong, maar ondertussen heel spannend, met een intrigerende cadans van smaken.
