Croq’Caillotte Sancerre 2009 - Emile Balland

Gooseberry is the classic Sauvignon Blanc note, but I’m not used to it being so pungent in generally austere Sancerre – the fruit note overwhelms the more typical minerality. There is also a note of blackcurrant leaf (not the fruit!) which I find startling in a white wine. Very crisp.
