As Sancerre has climbed in price it has touched off many searches for similarly styled Sauvignons from the broader Loire Valley. A warming climate has helped such searches become more successful, and the fruit profile in this delicious and refreshing wine does indeed mimic Sancerre, with grapefruit and lime flavors accented by aromas of dried herbs and freshly cut grass. It isn’t as mineral as fine Sancerre, but rings up for half the price.
