WINES OF THE YEAR
MENETOU-SALON BLANC 2012, Domaine Jean TEILLER

Made by a couple who did a winemaking stint in New Zealand, it’s perhaps no surprise that it is an upfront, lush style of Loire Sauvignon Blanc. The nose is exciting and aromatic, with sweet tropical fruit offset by a fresh citrus character. The ingy, limey flavours come with a rounded, creamy mouthfeel.
