| Sauvignon Blanc grown here is capable of making wines every bit as refreshingly aromatic as Sancerre. |
|
| Due to the after-effects of sun and a bottle of Sancerre, my usual British reserve was sadly lacking. |
|
| In the white category, Peel has done very well with Sancerre, Austrian wines like dry riesling and white Burgundy. |
|
| Loire Valley wines like Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume are for many the place where Sauvignon Blanc reaches its zenith. |
|
| There are moderately priced ones like Sancerre or Vouvray which are admirable but you can expect to pay up to a tenner a bottle. |
|
| A grassy Sancerre from a very reasonable wine list provided an admirable accompaniment. |
|
| Chablis, Sancerre, Pinot Grigio and Orvieto are all light-bodied whites that make fine complements to oysters. |
|
| Bordeaux, Burgundy and champagne are generally over-priced, as are Sancerre, Chablis, Rioja, Barolo and almost anything from the United States. |
|
| Yet, New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs are far from being Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume second fiddles. |
|
| A number of different wines are produced in the Loire but the most famous have to be Vouvray and Sancerre. |
|
| I was getting ulcers trying to decide if this Sancerre or that Chablis would be exactly right with the first course. |
|
| Sauvignon blanc came from Sancerre, in France, was light and dry and tasted minerally and crisp with delicate fruit. |
|
| Around the world, particularly in New Zealand, growers have shown that they too can produce the snappy, high-acid, thirst-quenching whites which Sancerre epitomises. |
|
| This unique stone layer runs in an ellipse across France and is also responsible for the best Champagne, Sancerre and a slather of great German wines. |
|
| This piercingly aromatic, citrus fruit and gooseberry-like white is drier and much closer to Sancerre than most Kiwi interpretations of the grape. |
|
| Sancerre is different, too, in that it combines its fruit flavours with minerals, gunflint and chalk, enabling it to be drunk on its own or with food. |
|
| Classic Sancerre ingredients all coming together skillfully with sharpish gooseberry fruit rolling along a mineral path leading to a flinty finale. 5 Stars. |
|
| The Meursault turned out be a Chablis, the Sancerre a Chenin Blanc from Vouvray, and what I thought was a Chardonnay turned out to be a Verdicchio from Italy. |
|
| It is a component of the dry white graves and the sweet sauternes of the Bordeaux region as well as being the grape of Sancerre and Pouilly in the Upper Loire Valley. |
|
| Pauper's Sancerre does not come better than the tart, racy, lemony fruit of this stylish Loire Sauvignon, a joint effort of French and Antipodean winemakers. |
|
|
|
| More Loire Valley cruise than a take-away from the local chippy, a crisp sauvignon blanc from Sancerre has the freshness to compliment flaky fish with tartare sauce. |
