If you love Sancerre, meet its quieter neighbor: a crisp, mineral Sauvignon Blanc from Menetou-Salon, just west of Sancerre in the Loire Valley.
The Clément family has made wine in Menetou-Salon since at least 1560, when a Sébastien Clément was already known for his wine. Isabelle and Pierre Clément took over the family farm, Domaine de Châtenoy, in 1984 and grew it to more than 60 hectares. Their children, Anne and Pierre-Alexandre, are now taking over.
The vines grow on Kimmeridgian limestone and clay marl, the same fossil-rich ancient seabed you find in Chablis and Sancerre. The whole vineyard is farmed organically, and the grapes are picked by hand into small crates. It ferments with native yeasts in stainless steel, with no malolactic fermentation, so it keeps its snap. In the glass: lime zest, white peach, pink grapefruit and lemongrass, then quince, jasmine tea, a little grated ginger and a salty, wet-stone finish.
Try it with fresh goat cheese, oysters or shrimp tacos with lime. Serve it well chilled, around 48°F. No need to decant.
Our guide to Sauvignon Blanc covers the Loire style in more depth, and our white wines collection has more crisp whites to explore.
