Silex soils, the rarest and most coveted in Loire, impart razor sharp minerality and acidity to the wine. Laporte is one of the most respected domaines in the region, having remained committed to low yields and minimal intervention while so many in Sancer

Alain is fortunate enough to own parcels in Pouilly-Fumé that are heavy in Silex, a soil type coveted for its trademark laser-sharp flinty minerality. Indeed, if these plots were over the river in Sancerre, the wine would probably be double the price.

The vineyard for this wine is one that most Cali winemakers looking to turn a buck would just uproot and re-plant; the vines are old, gnarly, and don’t give high yields. These are actually good things for making complex wine, however, so winemaker James J

Egri Csillag (Eger Star) is the name of white wine field blends from this region of northeastern Hungary. Much like their more famous red wine cousins, Egri Bikavér (Bull’s Blood), they incorporate both indigenous and international varieties. Fresh, crisp

Pouilley-Fumé tends to get dwarfed by it’s prestigious neighbor Sancerre, but this wine is tastier than many a Sancerre we’ve had over the years. That “gun-flint” minerality shines through, with light citrus zest and a clean but long finish.

This is a little workhorse of a wine – nothing fancy, but really well done. Fans of New Zealand Sauv. Blanc should like this: done in stainless steel to keep it bright and citrus-y… more on the lime zest side than pink grapefruit. There’s some subtle comp
