Sauvion 2006 Château du Cléray Réserve Silico Argileux Melon (Muscadet Sèvre et Maine)
In common with some other Muscadet producers, Sauvion labels cuvees by the soil type of the vineyard. Here the soil is of rocks and clay, giving a wine that has some weight and richness, but also has a tense mineral streak and green apple fruit flavors.

Sauvion 2007 Cardinal Richard Melon (Muscadet Sèvre et Maine)
- $20
A smoky, lemon and lime dominated wine, which has fine concentration, lifted by tight tannins and edged by a creamy baked apple flavor. There’s plenty going on here, and it’s all good.

Sauvion 2006 Les Graviéres du Roy Cabernet Franc (Saumur-Champigny)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Solid tannins mask some sweetness in the highly perfumed fruit, flavored with spices, tobacco, dried fruits. This has some good depth, allied with rich touches of wood.

Sauvion 2010 Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
- $29
Very fruity in character, in high tension, its acidity pushing through the mineral texture and ripe fruit.

Sauvion 2006 Château du Cléray Haute Culture Melon (Muscadet Sèvre et Maine)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
The Sauvion family’s flagship Muscadet is richer than some, with fresh apple flavors as well as the more characteristic grapefruit. This is lively, lightly prickly on the tongue, deliciously crisp but with some weight and intensity.

Sauvion 2007 Château du Cléray Réserve Silico Argileux Melon (Muscadet Sèvre et Maine)
- $20
A taut, mineral style, maybe missing fruit, but certainly evoking the stony soil of the vineyard. Its very tight crispness is emphasized by dryness and by the tartness of lemon juice.

Full-bodied wine, but with an edge of fresh grapefruit flavor and bright acidity. This estate Muscadet balances ripeness with classic Muscadet lightness.
