Tesco Mâcon Blanc Villages 2011 £4.99 Cave Vignerons Des Grandes Vignes The turquoise screwcap on this jars for me. Flabby nose. Dry white wine. 12.50% Finest* Chablis Grand Cuvée 2011 £9.99 Union Des Viticulteurs De Chablis A hint of creaminess on the nose. It's dry white wine and the flavour lasts pretty well. 12.50% Les Vins du Place Languedoc Blanc 2011 £7.99 Les Grands Chais de France Low on aroma, with perhaps a hint of peach. Lacking acidity. Flabby and not very pleasant. 12% Finest* St Mont 2011 £6.99 Plaimont Producteurs Low on aroma. Sharp acidity, savoury flavours. It's OK. 13% Tesco White Burgundy 2011 £6.49 Cave Vignerons Des Grandes Vignes Lemon and melon aroma. The taste is a bit lacking in freshness. 13% Finest* White Burgundy 2011 £7.99 Vignerons De Buxy Lemon aroma. Lemon palate as well. Fresh, clean and a reasonable price. 13% Finest* Chablis Premier Cru 2009 £14.49 Union Des Viticulteurs De Chablis Lovely mineral nose, with lees and creaminess. Some grip on the palate. Very savoury. 13% Finest* Pouilly Fumé 2010 £12.99 Fournier Pere et Fils Beautifully catty nose. Juicy, bright and alive. Very good. 12.50% ![]() Finest* Sancerre 2011 £12.99 Fournier Pere et Fils Light aroma, with some elder. Tangy, pithy and linear. Mineral aftertaste. Good. 12.50% Finest* Alsace Riesling 2011 £7.99 Cave de Turckheim Almost no aroma. Just off dry and with tangy acidity. Not much riesling character. I might have thought this was sauvignon. 12.50% |

The Sancerre 2011 is light and unrecognisable as Sancerre/PF/Menetou Salon. The 2010 Pouilly Fume is dry, lightly acidic with a strong blackcurrant bud taste but has no minerality on the finish and so, is just a glorified Touraine. Poor value at the currant £11 and I wouldn't buy it even with 25% off that as Touraine even at it's best is not my thing. I think you've been too kind to the Sancerre but the PF could be worth a star if you love Touraine and can't find a good one. At £11 though it would be an expensive replacement. I still love you anyway..... |
