Montlouis, Loire

Per Karlsson — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 08:29:00 +0000

There are many, often small, French appellations that are unfortunately far too little known. Sometimes one wonders if the wines wouldn’t be better known (which is important) and easier to sell (even more important) if they used a wider, less precise, but better known appellation. Montlouis is one of those. Have you heard of it? […]

Domaine des Roches Neuves, Saumur-Champigny | BKWine Pick

Per Karlsson — Fri, 23 Jun 2006 06:49:00 +0000

Originally from Bordeaux, Thierry Germain arrived in the Loire Valley some 15 years ago (and his father, Bernard Germain, arrived a bit later and bought Chateau de Fesle in Bonnezeaux). Thierry makes a Saumur-Champigny that counts among the best and also most substantial Cabernet Franc wines you can find. There are few others who manage […]

Château de Targé, Saumur-Champigny | BKWine Pick

Per Karlsson — Wed, 25 Jan 2006 09:17:00 +0000

A very impressive chateau just outside Saumur. Very good reds with AC Saumur Champigny and whites with AC Saumur. Has belonged to the same family since the 17th century and is now managed by Edouard Pisani Ferry. Look especially for the prestige wine Cuvée Ferry. If you buy directly from the property the Saumur-Champigny Targé […]

Domaine Montgilet, Anjou | BKWine Pick

Britt Karlsson — Wed, 11 Jun 2003 13:49:48 +0000

The brothers Vincent and Victor Lebreton in Juigné-sur-Loire makes some incredibly good-value wines, both red, dry white and sweet white. My favorite red is Anjou Village Brissac 1998, with one year’s oak aging – very well structured, with ripe fruit and a touch of vanilla (9.15€ from the domaine), and the dry white Anjou Blanc […]
