Perfumed, rounded wine, packed with fruit, its ripe flavor given point with kiwi fruit acidity. There is a light spiciness that adds to the complexity. Age for 3-4 years.

Guy Saget 2010 Le Domaine Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
Full, rich wine, with a concentrated structure to go with the pineapple and apple juice flavors. Still young, the wine should age for a year, to fill out the structure and give final richness.

A full, ripe wine, with delicious white plum, sweet grapefruit and a tense mineral edge. There is a great texture from fruit tannins, boosted by intense shots of acidity. Age for another year or two.

Guy Saget 2008 Domaine de la Perrière Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
-
$25
Green pear and quince flavors are found on a wine that has some richness. It is easy and soft initially, then a firm texture and the freshest acidity come through. But finally, it return to a rich character.

$16
While there is a fine citrus element here, the texture also has some creamy richness. However, the almost salty character of the wine certainly places it near the ocean. Drink this year.

Guy Saget 2010 Les Clissages d’Or sur lie Melon (Muscadet Sèvre Et Maine)
Tight acidity, fresh fruit, with lightness and poise. It shows flavors of apple, lemon and herbs with a crisp seafood-friendly aftertaste.
