“really lovely wine, good flavours, and an easy summer drink” 

Matthew Doughty: Comment on: Villebois Loire Sauvignon Blanc 2010

“We drank this outside over lunch – it is a good match with sun & food. I liked its light, clear colour and it has a deeper lingering taste than many of its competitors. One to revisit over the summer ” 

Richard Jefferies : Comment on: Villebois Loire Sauvignon Blanc 2010

“Yummy!! Very light with a very quaffable nature ” 

Sarah Longdon: Comment on: Petit Villebois Sauvignon Blanc 2010

“We were really impressed with this Sauvignon. Great zingy freshness yet depth of flavour at the same time, unlike many fruity whites. I will definitely be quaffing this again.” 

David Raper: Comment on: Villebois Sancerre 2010

“Another fantastic wine from Villebois, a beautiful fruity Sancerre and considering the quality it’s very good value for money.” 

Ty Roberts: Comment on: Villebois Loire Rose 2010

“The lightest and most refreshing rose so far.”

“A Fantastic and Fruity wine one of the very nicest whites I have sampled, I’m usually a red fan however this has really opened my eyes to a quality white.” 

Derek Carr: Comment on: Villebois Pouilly Fume 2010  “loved it…will buy this wine again and again…”

 Petit Villebois Sauvignon Blanc 2009,  by Tom Lewis
“This wine has characteristic Loire flinty gunsmoke on the nose and an apples-and-pears acidity with some cantaloupe melon on the palate. It is balanced and less herbaceous than many a Sauvignon; it is also lighter, with less intensity, structure or minerality, although the length does improve with some air.

Naked suggest this as a mid-week quaffer, and it certainly is light enough to drink without food – it was a little overpowered by the cheese that we had with it, and would probably match better with plain white fish.

To my mind, this is just the sort of white that should prove really popular at the moment – with plenty of fresh Sauvignon character but less in-yer-face than the overly tropical New World versions and a very easy-drinking crowd-pleasing style, but still grown-up and sophisticated

2009 Sauvignon Blanc, Villebois, Seigy

2009 Pointe de Doux, Sauvignon Blanc

Villebois is Dutch owned. The 2009 Villebois is made by Thierry Merlet, who trained in Australia and worked for Brian Croser at Petaluma, before returning to France and working in the Cher Valley. It is the most citric, aromatic and refreshing of the three Sauvignons here. Watching this video clip on YouTube, explains why is this is the case. In the clip Thierry explains that the Sauvignon is picked at different times. Part of the Sauvignon is picked early to give the aromas and freshness, while part is picked later to give some weight and body to the wine.

La semaine dernière avait pour thème les huîtres et le vin. Ce qui m’a conduit à visiter un ostréiculteur à Yerseke puis à me rendre au Bar à huîtres, sur la place populaire, le Leidseplein à Amsterdam. lire la suite »

Dans le Val de Loire, trois amis d’études ont réalisé un rêve de jeunesse en achetant ensemble un vignoble.

Perfectionnistes, ils engagèrent un viticulteur de formation internationale. A partir de la deuxième vendange en 2006, ils lancèrent un rosé en primeur. lire la suite »

“Ce sauvignon blanc est d’une grande élégance et d’une rare pureté. Une style de sauvignon tres moderne et pourtant si caractéristique des vins de Loire.”

Le SB Prestige 2007 se goute fabuleusement bien avec des huitres.Grace a son amplitude at a sa persistance aromatique on apprécie la combinaison entre iodé et la minéralité. C’est un vin puissant avec des aromes de fruits exotiques et une belle acidité/Santé.!
