WHAT: Cedrick Bardin Pouilly-Fume 2009 (white) Rating: NNNN
WHERE: Loire Valley, France
WHY: Classic grape migration story: emigrant fruit leaves the constraints of the Old World, alights on a distant shore, blossoms forth anew and teaches the ancestors a thing or two. It’s a lesson well learnt: these delicious Sauvignon Blanc grapes offer a judicious allowance of fruity juiciness on top of traditional tight Loire minerality and acidity. Thank you, New Zealand. A well-chosen new addition to the Vintages lineup at a good price.
PRICE: 750 ml/$21.95
AVAILABILITY: At selected Vintages outlets (product #202416)
