The wines are fermented in three styles: dry (sec), off-dry (demi-sec) and sweet (moelleux). Made exclusively with the Chenin Blanc grape, they share a limestone soil that’s the key to their finesse and complexity. Both are noted for the beauty of their perfume: peach, white flowers, green apple. Then there is the exquisite balance: an often honeyed fruit set off against the bright, citrus-like acidity. It’s perhaps the fact that Chenin planted nowhere else in the world reaches this level of quality that has kept these wines relatively obscure In Vouvray, the limestone is mixed with clay and chalk; the wines are forward and lush. In Savenni ères, the soil is limestone and slate, producing a more refined, tightly-wound wine with mineral flavors and great ageability. 30 Bordeaux Blanc, Chateau Ducasse, 2012 | 36 39 Cadaretta, Sauvignon Blanc, Columbia Valley, Washington, 2012 | 39 66 Château D’Epiré, Savennières ‘Cuvée Spéciale’, Loire, France, 2012 | 45 29 Sancerre, Domaine Lauverjat, Loire, France, 2013 | 51 41 Savennières-Roche Aux Moines, Domaine Roche Aux Moines, 1999 | 55 27 Vouvray, Huet ‘Haut-Lieu’ Sec, Loire, France, 2013 | 59 71 Cloudy Bay, Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand, 2014 | 73 32 Grgich Hills, Fumé Blanc, Napa, California, 2011 | 75 33 Vouvray Sec, Foreau ‘Domaine du Clos Naudin’, France, 2010 | 69 28 Illumination Sauvignon Blanc, Huneeus Vintners, Rutherford, Ca. 2013 | 84 RRR IIII EEE SSS LLL IIII NNN GGG 52 Trimbach Reserve, Alsace, France, 2009 | 45 69 Zilliken Kabinett Saarburger, Mosel, Germany, 2011 | 45 77 Schloss Reinhartshausen, Erbach Schlossberg, Rheingau, Germany, 2011 | 58 51 Schloss Schönborn Spätlese, Erbach Marcobrunn, Rheingau, 2002 | 70 81 Trimbach, Cuvée Frédéric Émile, Alsace,
