La Craie Sauvignon Blanc
Loire Sauvignon Blanc, stocked in Commack, poured with oysters.
The story behind La Craie
Sancerre is Sauvignon Blanc grown in the eastern Loire Valley, on the chalk and flint hills around the town of Sancerre. The style is dry and taut, with citrus, gooseberry and a flinty mineral edge rather than the riper tropical fruit of a New Zealand bottling. It tends to be leaner and more savory, and it drinks well young.
We keep La Craie Sancerre 750mL here in Commack as a small, hand-picked listing, one of just a bottle or two on the shelf. Call ahead and we will tell you exactly what is in stock.
