My absolute favorite white wine in the world is from Loire Valley, France. The 2009 Philippe Raimbault (the producer) Apud Sariacum (Apud Sariacum is the older name for the local village now known as Sury-en-Vaux near the Philippe Raimbault vineyard) Sancerre (Sancerre is the AOC region within Loire Valley). This wine is 100% Sauvignon Blanc with an alcohol level of 12.5% and is sealed with an artificial cork.
Philippe Raimbault Sancerre had a light golden color with slight green hues. The nose was strong with hints of wet river stone minerality, honeysuckle, nectarines, fresh peaches, honeydew, sweet tarts, and fresh water. On the palate were notes of sweet tarts, green chiles, chalk, nectarines, flint, ripe oranges, and river stones. This wine had high acidity with a slight creamy texture. Overall, I enjoyed Philippe Raimbault Sancerre because of the fresh taste with complex characteristics and flavors.
