Sauvignon Blanc
French chefs have long had a love affair with Sauvignon, with first courses paired with deliciously light and crisp Sancerres, Pouilly Fumés and lesser known but equally exotic wines from the Loire all great Sauvignons. During the last 30 years the new world has added a further dimension to this core flavour with tropical spins to this appetising wine. Sauvignon Blanc is traditionally regarded as a first course wine, with its lighter, higher acidity it makes a great balance with salty foods and green vegetables, the acid in the wine pairs beautifully with vinaigrette dressing so is a perfect companion to serve with salad.

Domaine Ducroux, Sancerre, 2006, Very pale with greenish tints. Crushed nettles and gooseberry aromas with appley, gooseberry fruit and a touch of vanilla softness. Sancerre just how the English like it. Perfect for the hot weather (while it lasts!).
