Domaine Landrat-Guyollot 2005 Carte Noire Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
-
$33
A selection from old vines and made only in good years, Landrat-Guyollot’s Carte Noire is rich and creamy, with concentrated white and yellow fruit flavors, some melon, white currants and pink grapefruit. Weighty, promising aging over 5 years.

Domaine Landrat-Guyollot 2005 La Roselière Chasselas (Pouilly-sur-Loire)
-
$27
The other wine of Pouilly-sur-Loire (way behind Pouilly-Fumé in quantity) is this Chasselas grape-based wine, from a much older tradition. This example shows delicious honeysuckle aromas and flavors of honey, flowers and nuts. A rarity, but a style that shouldn’t disappear.

Domaine Landrat-Guyollot 2005 La Rambarde Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
-
$22
Light and fresh, this is elegant with green fruits, yellow peach, a mineral layer and citrus. A rambarde was a flat-bottomed boat which used to transport wine from the Loire to Paris.
