Airy and elegant, the nose combines a nice aromatic bouquet of exotic fruits like coconut, passion fruit, orange and tangerine. On the palate, the wine is supple at the onset, the palate is built on a nice freshness, which is appreciated in this sunny vintage. Its freshness is enhanced by nice acidity in the aftertaste with notes of grapefruit.
If this wine is drunk young, its fruitiness and freshness come out in full. At 4 or 5 years of age, the wine will develop more complexity.
Halfway between the Dijon/Tours line are several famous Loire regions known for their white wines made from the sauvignon blanc grape. Sancerre, but certainly also Pouilly-Fumé, enjoy a huge reputation. However, in the immediate vicinity of both are places where excellent wines are made at often more favorable prices. Reuilly and Menetou-Salon are two examples. The appellation of Menetou-Salon is known for its dry and edgy white wines and its fruity and silky reds
Reuilly is already one of those villages where you have to brake in time, otherwise you are already through. Menetou-Salon is, if possible, even smaller. Joseph & Marie de Maistre run their wine estate Le Prieuré de Saint-Céols in the hamlet of Saint-Céols. They have 13 hectares, two-thirds of which are planted with sauvignon-blanc and the remainder with pinot-noir grapes. They are currently Terra Vitis certified, but have been working organically for some years the certification is expected with the 2022 harvest.
