| Description: | Awinemaking tradition as long as Frances is bound to produce a few historic vineyard sites here and there. But when some rosy-cheeked monk or abbotthe wine bloggers of their agesingles out a specific plot, you know you have something truly special. In his 1777 history of Sancerre, the abbot Poupart wrote that the Bouffants hillside is one of the best I know in our Sancerre area. It is perfectly appropriate, then, that the Cte des Embouffants is now under the care of the Neveu family, who has roots in the village of Verdignyjust half a mile from the vineyardsince the 12th century. Today, brothers ric and Jean-Philippe Neveu produce a fresh-cut-grass-and-citrus-inflected Sauvignon Blanc of incredible precision from this site. They ferment and age it only in tank and rack by gravity to preserve all the juicy, sun-ripened fruit and lively mineral snap conferred by this steep, limestone-covered hillside. Generously perfumed and incredibly refreshing, this bottling suggests that, nearly 250 years later, our old pal Poupart may have been onto something. Dustin Soiseth, Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant |
