Domaine Le Prieure de Saint-Ceols CUVEE DES BENEDICTINS Menetou-Salon from France, Loire, Menetou-Salon by Domaine Le Prieure de Saint-Ceols (12 x 75 cl)
From a single vineyard site, this lovely, complex wine is partially aged in oak. While delicious when young, it gains richness and secondary tropical flavours with age. Clos des Blanchais, from 40-year-old vines, has an astonishingly pure mineral nose , grape-pith and crystallised lemon on the palate, beautiful persistence and a rapier thrust of acidity. (6 x 75 cl)

A blend of different parcels from the commune of Morogues gives a fine balance of grape variety and terroir. This wine is given a long fermentation of 1 to 2 months and kept on the lees resulting in a wine full of extract with evident 'terroi' character. A rich style of sauvignon blanc which will continue to improve in the bottle. (6 x 75 cl)
