Spectrum Wine's Value Pick
Cherrier Pére & Fils Sancerre Les Fleuins 2010
By: Dan Rhodes
Wine Specialist,
Consignment Director |
"This classic warm-weather white arrives just in time for the pastel spring evenings and balmy summer days ahead. The Sancerre region of France's Loire Valley is renowned for producing Sauvignon Blanc-based wines that are crisp, clean and delicious and this one is no exception! It leads off with a scintillating nose of chervil, snap pea and lemongrass followed by a focused palate of assorted citrus and summer melon that is nuanced nicely with sundry hints of herb and limestone. |
The wine's focused minerality and laser-like acidity make it a natural companion to seafood of any kind as well as such white meats as pork, veal and chicken. Or just enjoy a glass by itself as a refreshing "wake-me-up" after a long day at the office. You certainly can't beat the cost as the price point at play represents well the pedigree that's at hand."

Cherrier Pére & Fils Sancerre Rouge Les Fleuins 2010
By: Dan Rhodes

"One of the best-kept secrets of France's Sancerre region are the delightfully refreshing reds made from Pinot Noir. Coming from a cool climate environment roughly 130 miles west of Dijon, these are lighter bodied, easily accessible interpretations of the Pinot Noir grape that are perfectly suited to salmon and bistro fare as well as lighter meat dishes. It's easy to see why Parisians adore Loire Valley reds. They are affordable, versatile and very user friendly. This particular rendition delivers a clean immediacy that combines flavorful vectors of cherry/berry fruit in conjunction with hints of spice and sweet earth. Vinified with minimal use of oak, this wine is perfect for quaffing with light snacks, appetizers and hors d'oeuvres." |

Domaine Les Chezeaux Menetou-Salon La Mangellerie 2010
By: Powell Yang
Consignment Director |
"Pale lemon in color appearance. Clean nose, medium intensity and youthful. Mixture of citrus and tropical fruit fragrance, grapefruit, kiwi and green mango. Going deeper, there is also acacia, lemongrass, and just a touch of white pepper on the nose. A dry wine with medium acid, low alcohol, light body, a good summer white to have in stock to enjoy anytime. Fruit fragrance translates fully onto the palate, grapefruit being most apparent along with lemon and hints of kiwi. There is also wet slate and fresh cut grass as you swirl the wine a bit in your mouth for an added dimension.
A nice everyday white for the summer, good pairing with fresh shucked oysters or a nice Plateau de Mer. Of course, you can also just open a bottle and lay poolside to enjoy." |
