Christian Salmon Sancerre 2008
	Domaine Christian Salmon is a family owned estate covering fifteen hectares along the Coteaux Buetons between the appellations of Sancerre and Pouilly Fume in France's Loire Valley. The winemaking has remained largely unchanged after many generations and continues to deliver the most praiseworthy examples of French Sauvignon Blanc. "The palate is incredibly textural, oily and viscous. This is beautifully balanced with a creamyness throughout. As well as being a Sauvignon Blanc, it’s also an excellent white wine too!" -Wineseeker.co.nz Sancerre
	Each $34.99 Dozen $419.88	Sauvignon Blanc is harvested from vines planted to calcareous clay soils, averaging twenty eight years of age. The bunches are lightly crushed immediately upon arrival to the winery. The must is pumped into tank and left to cold settle before the onset of natural fermentation. Temperatures are closely monitored to avoid any possible risk of oxidation while retaining freshness and aromaticness. The wine is racked and treated to a minimal addition of sulphur dioxide, followed by a period of rest in tank prior to bottling. Domaine Christian Salmon endeavour to preserve the regional characters of Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre, no barrel ageing is involved in the production, bottled completely unwooded and unoaked. Alcohol 13.0%
	Pale straw colour. First impressions of intense flinty, minerally notes verging on gunpowder. Being so aromatic, the wine opens up with air, taking on more fruit nuances, in particular of ripe pear. The structure is defined by its superb balance. The style is vigorous and frank, a rich middle palate, finishing with lively vivacity. Leaves one with an overall sensation of elegance and harmony. To accompany delicate dishes, fruits de mer au beurre blanc or fromages de chèvre. "Powerful and vigorous. The palate is lean and tight with racy citrus fruit and green apple. The nearly acrid finish shows a lot of stony minerality. Overall this is a more mineral, than aromatic or fruity wine style, concentrated and focused!" -Winedome.wordpress
