Huteau Boulanger Sauvignon Blanc
Why we picked it
Huteau Boulanger is a rather new idea in Loire Valley wine: they are based in Muscadet but produced more than that crisp and racy wine. They buy grapes from throughout the Loire, fashioning honest (and affordable) wines in the region. The company was founded by Catherine and François Boulanger and has 45 hectares of vineyards. Indeed, their spot in Muscadet isn’t historical or familial for them; they traveled extensively before choosing the terroir of Muscadet Sévre et Maine. Their Sauvignon Blanc is ready to drink upon release (some Sauvignon Blancs from terroirs like Sancerre can take a few years to loosen up) and that too is one of the merits of their project.

Antoine de la Farge L'Enfant Rebelle
European AOC system sets the boundaries of any winegrowing region; the idea is that the best and appropriate area is reserved for the AOC’s. That means that there are other places that can make high quality wine but simply don’t fit within the AOC boundaries. That includes this site just outside of the established Loire Valley vineyards where delicious Sauvignon Blanc can be made, similarly to Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé, but not at similar pricing.
Bleu Blanc Thau
This blend of Picpoul,Terret, and Colombard is so tasty, so refreshingly crisp (but still weighty enough to matter) and, dare we say it, a freaking value that it practically crawled into our bag and said take me home the first time we tasted it.
Brunn Gruner Veltliner
The Austrians are both new and ancient with their wines: this is in a liter bottle, it’s all the rage; all the cool kids are going with liters these days. But winemaker Karl Steinschaden and his family are also focused on tradition, harvesting solely by hand from old estate vines with low yields, doing only native ferments. A few months in large Slovenian oak vats and you have bracing crisp, clean and absurdly drinkable Grüner.
