Hommage a Pierre Alexandre Jean-Marie Raimbault 2006 WHITE France

For Sauvignon Blanc of mouthwatering purity and elegant minerality most fans ideally head for Loire's Sancerre and Pouilly Fume regions to an acclaimed producer and a great vintage like 2006 in which wines "are among the best ever" (Wine Report). And they'd expect a hefty price tag too! Well today you've a chance to enjoy a stunning best-ever vintage Sauvignon ... and a classic to rate among the world's finest! Hommage a Pierre Alexandre is made in Sancerre (at one of the region's top cellars) but crafted with grapes grown in next-door insider's secret Coteaux du Giennois so you enjoy Sancerre quality ... at a very un-Sancerre price! And it bears all the hallmarks of the extraordinary 2006 harvest! As Jancis Robinson reports "the Loire had a terrific 2006 vintage ... success was not limited to Sancerre ... the smaller appellations nearby produced some mouthwatering wines". Sparkling bright in the glass this tantalizing white bears all the hallmark Sancerre characteristics. Exceptionally fresh and packed with vibrant cut-grass gooseberry and green-apple flavours it also has a mouth-biting crispness that Sauvignon fans will adore!
