The Loire produces a crisp style of Chardonnay, and this one emphasizes fresh lime and other citrus flavors. It has structure, a crisp core of pear skins with a floral, green finish.

This is a medium-sweet rosé, with flavors of sugared strawberries, always freshened with fragrant acidity. It is fresh and lively, a delicate, low alcohol summer apéritif wine.

Domaine du Petit Clocher 2007 Cabernet Franc (Anjou)
-
$10
In the dusty, stalky style of Cabernet Franc, this is a light, green pepper-flavored wine that shows the freshness of the year but also suffers from the cool vintage conditions. Drink now.
