Celestin-Blondeau Sancerre Cuvee Des Moulins Bales 2021
100% Sauvignon Blanc from Upper Loire – crisp and fresh with traditional characteristics, but not overly pungent in the citrus category. I detected faint notes of stone fruit. Unfortunately, I found this wine to be unremarkable in every other way. The nose was just a mild, grassy Sauvignon Blanc, and on the palate, some citrus with a very faint finish. I have to say, I was disappointed.
On the back of the bottle, it says “Imported by Classic Wine Imports, Concord MA.” A Google search yields the Martignetti company, which only lists the wine. Other searches result in wine shops selling the wine. I found it odd that the Domaine has no listing or website in France, and I wonder if this wine is made just for CWI as one of their “white label” wines.
