Cedrick Bardin, Coteaux du Giennois Blanc "Boheme", Loire Valley, France 2022
{sustainable} 100% Sauvignon Blanc
ZESTY GRAPEFRUIT & TROPICAL NOTES, FRAGRANT & FIRM
Cédrick Bardin’s domaine (and dominion!) is a patchwork of property in Sancerre, Pouilly, and here, a few acres in heart of the lesser-known Coteaux du Giennois. Taking its name from the town of Gien, this appellation lies immediately to the north of its more famous neighbors and provides Bardin with a different, still excellent, expression for the estate’s starring variety, Sauvignon Blanc. Dominated by dark, clay-comprised soils, this plot yields subtler yet potentially more exotic character with tropical undercurrents shining through the more typical citric overtones. Yum!
Serving Suggestion: Calamari tempura. Ceviche. Chèvre & other goat cheeses.
