Produced 100% from the seldom-encountered Grolleau Gris variety, this 8.5% Loire white delivers plenty of character for the alcohol content, at a brilliant price. Lively, vibrant and citrusy on the nose, the palate is linear, minerally, taut and restrained. Dry, with a depth of fruit, this surprisingly satisfying gem finishes long and precise. Summer glugging epitomised.
