Petit Villebois Sauvignon Blanc 2010, frais et croquant
20 octobre 2011Petit Villebois Sauvignon Blanc 2010 by Sam Brown
“Petit Villebois is not a caricature, it’s just what I want from a Loire Sauvignon Blanc. Although Villebois produce Sancerre and Pouilly Fume, this Petit Villebois is one of their cheaper wines and is released under the Vin de Pays du Val de Loire banner. It’s got the classic pale straw colour that you would expect along with a rounded mouth feel, nice acidity and a long finish. It’s crisp and zesty with tropical fruit aromas and a hint of elderflower.

Villebois Prestige 2010, accessible. Light yet tongue-clubbingly flavoured: a review

Villebois Sauvignon Blanc Prestige review » Old Parn’s Wine Blog
A Simple, Straightforward Sauvignon Blanc. I probably don’t need to describe it too much. It’s got that nettley, grassy, springy thing. That gob-pleasing blast that’s the white wine world’s equivalent of MSG. Accessible. Light yet tongue-clubbingly flavoured.

Petit Villebois: To chill or not to chill..
4 août 2011Comment on: Petit Villebois Sauvignon Blanc 2010
I enjoyed drinking this straight from the fridge and feeling the wine
develop with every mouthful.
Light, refreshing and dangerously drinkable when chilled.
Citrus fruit aromas begin to develop as the wine warms up and the
taste becomes sharper and pleasantly fruity with hints of lemon,
grapefruit and gooseberry.
Towards the bottom of the glass the nose has become more tropical and
the citrus flavours take on a more acidic note which is almost too
strong but in fact strangely moreish….time to top up again.
It’s at it’s best somewhere between chilled and 5 minutes later but on
a hot summers day it’s so perfectly drinkable you’d be lucky if
there’s any left by then.

To chill or not to chill that is the question. There is a school of
thought that straight from the fridge is to cold, but like you I feel
it allows the wine to develop in the glass and makes for a better all
round experience.

Decanter’s publishing director Sarah Kemp gave the final tally of entries as 12, 252. ‘This is 11% more than last year and it’s a huge endorsement from the world’s wine producers,’ she said.
‘We had one-fifth of the world’s Masters of Wine judging the Awards, and the judges came from over 25 countries,’ Kemp added.


« Le sauvignon blanc frappe par sa fraîcheur et sa limpidité. Au nez, on lui reconnaît un parfum de fleurs, de fruit et d’épices, tandis qu’on découvre dans son goût tonique et élégant des nuances d’agrumes (limon, pamplemousse), pomme verte et groseilles, avec une touche de coing.On pourrait presque dire que c’est un vin de rêve. »
Les vignerons de Villebois donnent une nouvelle tournure à la vendange de 2010 qui plaira surtout à ceux qui aiment le sauvignon blanc néo-zélandais. «Eclaboussant, légèrement exotique, riche et arrondi, doté de groseilles, avec suffisamment d’ ‘acier’ pour exciter les papilles de temps en temps».
