Located in the heart of Thauvenay in Sancerre, Laloue is a family run operation that has been making really good wines for a while now. They differentiate themselves from many of their neighbors by making single-soil Sancerres instead of single-vineyard bottlings. This gives consumers a unique look and taste on the impact of soil selections in the region.
The Cuvee Silex is my favorite of the three — the special flinty clay soil gives a jolt of minerality to the wine that the others can’t match and they’re particularly cellar worthy bottlings. It’s probably the reason that last year’s release earned a whopping 94-point score from Wine Enthusiast with a Cellar Selection designate. Expect similar for this vintage when they publication comes out with their 2020 review.
This is a single soil Sancerre with excellent balance and tension and a killer mineral streak that runs through. It’s got great kiwi/stone fruits that mesh with the salinty and a beautiful chalky minerality that all add up to create a silky smooth and electric Sancerre.

“The nose is quite reserved, showing some melon, pear and lavender. Then, on the palate, the expansion starts on a base of silky almond cream and builds up slowly and steadily through the long, long finish. Aftertaste of lemon cream. Never ebullient, but medium-bodied, layered and silky, this is quiet refinement flexing its muscles. Total balance. Beautifully done. All in place. Best ever.”
For those of you looking for a semi-dry Riesling to pair with seafood, salads, pastas or poultry, you don’t have to look any further. Ratzenberger is a benchmark in the region and their consistency in making expressive, classy Riesling continues with the newly released 2019 Kabintt Feinherb. It manages to bring to the table savory, sweet and tangy acidic notes. It’s a versatile bottle of white, that’s for sure.

“A tasty mix of crisp apple and warm butter and vanilla flavors highlight this medium-bodied and silky textured wine from one of Anderson Valley’s well-established producers. Pippin apple and lemon notes complement the buttery richness.” – Jim Gordon
Jayson Chardonnay has Pahlmeyer prints all over it. It’s a gorgeoeus, racy Chard that opens with notes of orange blossom, jasmine and freshly sliced pears. In the glass, the wine evolves and deepens, adding bright and zesty hints of creamy lemon meringue, tart citrus fruit and a splash of minerality. On the palate, the wine’s lively acidity is balanced with rich notes of pear, tangerine and baked apricot, wrapped up with a hint of caramel and vanilla on smooth and creamy finish.
