This Quincy from Domaine des Ballandors, aromatic and minerally, is a perfect example of an outstanding vintage which has produced classical wines in the Loire Valley. It is bright, light yellow in colour, with greenish lights. Fresh and very aromatic on the nose, with perfumes which range from gooseberry through to fresh, herbaceous notes. These will develop into a more tropical style as the wine ages. Zingy and clean on the palate, with the characteristic Ballandors balance between ripe fruit and fresh acidity. The Sauvignon grapes were vinified in the winery situated at Brinay in the Loire. Ballandors is one of two domaines owned by this husband and wife team, Jean Tatin and Chantal Wilk. The vines are set on the sandy soil over freshwater limestone characteristic of the region, and this leads to the flinty, mineral flavours so obvious in the Ballandors wine. (6 x 75 cl)
