Lacheteau 2000 Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)

  1. $17
Cleaner than the producer’s Pouilly-Fumé, with gooseberry and popping citrus aromas, this wine is still a bit lean. But it does offer nice grapefruit and green apple flavors atop a very tight structure. All in all, it’s crisp and easy to drink, which is what a basic Sancerre should be.  — W.E.  (8/1/2002)

Lacheteau 2006 Chenin Blanc (Vouvray)

  • Best Buy
  1. $10
A semisweet Vouvray, with its honey flavors still tasting very young. The acidity is all green apple, with freshness coming from the white currant edge. Lacheteau is a négociant, based in the Muscadet region.  — R.V.  (10/1/2007)

Lacheteau 2000 Sauvignon Blanc (Vin de Pays du Jardin de la France)

  • Best Buy
  1. $6
Very crisp and green, this offering from the broadest Loire area appellation comes off like a Kiwi more than a Frenchie. It's brisk, with almost sharp green herb notes and a touch of the (oh, yes) cat-pee note that so many have. It's tangy and light, a very good example of that style (if that's your cup of tea).  — M.M.  (2/1/2002)

Lacheteau 2000 Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)

  1. $17
Lemon-lime, some grapefruit and flint vie with an off cheese-like aroma on the nose. The tangerine and grapefruit flavors seem to carry some green with them, while the finish is plagued by a bitter pithy quality. The weight is average and the overall balance is adequate.  — W.E.  (8/1/2002)
