Domaine Alain Assadet 2008 Sauvignon Blanc (Menetou-Salon)
-
$21
A densely grassy, almost New Zealand style of Sauvignon Blanc, packed with intense flavors. It is crisp, but the green fruits are rounded out and given greater flavor by red apple juice, a tight texture and vivid finishing acidity.

Domaine Alain Assadet 2007 Pinot Noir (Menetou-Salon)
-
$21
Red Menetou-Salon, based on Pinot Noir, is a curiosity, particularly in cool years. This wine is typical—quite lean and austere, with light fruit flavors, but dominated by acidity. To be drunk soon.
