  The Explore 4 ‘Sauvignon Blanc’

  £9340

  Each Explore 4 case tackles a new theme: This one is a selection of Sauvignon Blanc that won’t break the bank.

  Sauvignon is the most popular white wine in the UK and for good reason, it’s easy to drink and you know what you are getting.

  But there is another more adventurous side to Sauvignon Blanc, the one where winemakers push the envelope in terms of vineyard locations, the use of oak and wild yeasts. These are the ones we focus on with this selection.

  Here’s what’s in the case:

  2021 Outer Limits Sauvignon Blanc, Montes, Aconcagua Valley, Chile

  The Outer Limits wines were born out of Aurelio Montes’ desire to push Chilean viticulture in a new direction. The 45 hectare Zapallar Vineyard in the Aconcagua Valley was Montes’ first venture into the ‘outer limits’. Due to the balance and concentration in the Outer Limits wines, they can be enjoyed now or allowed to age for a few years, rewarding with a wonderfully complex bouquet.

  2020 ‘Summer’ Wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc, Harry Hartman, Western Cape, South Africa

  his knockout wild Ferment Sauvignon Blanc from Harry Hartman Wines is made from fruit picked in the premium regions of Elgin and Bot River. Elgin fruit has a higher level of acidity adding to the more citrus notes and making the wine more linear. Botrivier fruit is more rounded, with bigger tropical notes.

  2019 Taihoa Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, Astrolabe, Marlborough, New Zealand

  This is a unique New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, the fruit for this wine is grown by Paddy and Anna Trolove at Taihoa Vineyard on Marlborough’s southern Kēkerengū coast. It is an outlier, both geographically and in a winemaking sense, to the typical sauvignon blanc wines of Marlborough; it is all about complexity, texture and age-worthiness.

  2019 Sancerre Cuvee Silex, Domaine Serge Laloue, Loire, France

  Serge Laloue has always been one of our favourite winemakers in the Loire, making incredible Sancerre. This we think is their finest Cuvee, crafted by Franck Laloue the Sancerre Silex has intense aromas of smoky graphite with mineral notes of oyster shell that are complemented by zesty orange peel and Mirabelle plum. This fresh, supple cuvée delivers concentrated citrus flavours through to a bright and uplifting mineral finish.

  2023 Chardonnay, Far Niente

  £9500

  Aromas of citrus, melon and honeysuckle complement hints of white fig, gardenia and toasted hazelnuts on a background of mild toasted oak that adds supportive warmth and richness. A silky palate with a rich texture surrounds a sweet core of melon and citrus, with notes of white floral and toasted vanilla and spice, through to a long bright finish.

  Far Niente Chardonnay is a blend of superlative Napa Valley vineyards, many of which are located in a little-known area called Coombsville, a cool growing region nestled in the rolling countryside and protected by the hills east of the city of Napa. Coombsville offers the characteristic climate of Carneros, with less wind, along with deeper, well-drained gravelly loam and volcanic ash soils. The combination of these vineyards results in subtle, tropical flavours, complex aromas and rich texture.

  2014 Chardonnay ‘Durell Vineyard’, TOR

  £9500

  Ed Durell planted the first vines in the rock-strewn, windy hills in 1979. Today, Durell Vineyard spans three AVAs: Sonoma Valley, Sonoma Coast and Carneros. The block TOR sources from lies in the famed Sand Hill section of the vineyard, which overlooks the Sonoma Valley. This 2014 Durell Chardonnay ranks among the best they have ever produced. “This has the classic seamless, almost oily palate weight and texture to it that the best Durells have but with a thread of focus that helps to pull the intensity of the palate together. This shows mandarin oranges, stone fruits and an almost cut wet grass note to it.

  2013 ‘Dreams’ Chardonnay, Vinnaioli Jermann – Magnum

  £12500

  Silvio Jermann is one of Italy’s finest winemakers.   All his wines are extraordinary, multi-layered and complex, expressing the essence of each varietal character to its purest and fullest degree. In terms of their philosophy, Silvio says “I want the wines to be genuine. I want them to be balanced and elegant but above all, they should move us, prompt our emotions and have a sense of authenticity”.

  The 2013 Dreams Chardonnay is a delicious wine and is up there with Italy’s best white wines.  It handles its oak treatment with ease, blending pure white orchard fruits, flowery perfumes and stone dust with hints of vanilla bean and brioche. The textures are silky and seamless, contrasted by stimulating minerality with a green citrus twang that adds further depth.  Intense.

  Dedicated to U2′s “The Joshua Tree” album (1987) and specifically to the song “Where the streets have no name”. This wine was created with the 1987 harvest and over the years its name has undergone a number of variations. For its first nine years, it was called “Where the Dreams have no end…”

  2015 Lune d’Or, Clos des Lunes 3 Bottle Gift Box

  £12500

  A magnificent 3 bottle Gift Box

  Located in Sauternes, on one of the greatest white wine terroirs in France, the Clos des Lunes is a magnificent rolling vineyard planted with old sémillon and sauvignon blanc vines. On very old vines, some perfectly golden clusters are chosen and delicately sorted grain by grain, by expert hands.

  The wine is pale gold in the glass – which is rather apt considering the name!  The nose is very expressive with fragrances of tangerine, lemon and grapefruit with wafts of fresh hay and chamomile.  Together these aromas give a mouthwatering sensation.  This leads into the racy palate that is complex, textural – preserved lemons, stone fruits and a delicious passion fruit taste.   The finish is long luscious and minerally.

  2020 Blanc Etc, Domaine Didier Dagueneau

  £12700

  Pouilly Fumé and Sancerre are the global benchmarks for Sauvignon Blanc, and there is no bigger name or more highly regarded producer in the area than Domaine Didier Dagueneau. Now under the guidance of Didier’s talented son Louis-Benjamin, the wines still follow his ethos that authentic Pouilly Fumé requires healthy fruit from low yielding, old vines to produce the purest, and most intense and vibrantly fresh wine. That’s not to say these wines are typical of the appellation. Given the severely low yields and approach to élevage, Dagueneau wines emphasise a creamy texture rather than bracing acidity, and combine mineral flavours with exotic fruits to supreme effect.

  Previously labelled as Blanc Fumé de Pouilly, now reborn as Blanc Etc… and looking better than ever. Generally speaking this is the most approachable wine in the range, and since Louis-Benjamin came aboard the wine is now far closer in quality and class to the other releases. While each of the other wine focus on a single soil type or terroir, Blanc etc… blends some young vine parcels on their Saint-Andelain hill with two parcels planted on flinty clay and limestone white clay soils nearby. It was fermented in a mix of new and three-four year old barrels and then matured in both wood and tank.

  2020 Hermitage Blanc, Domaine Des Martinelles, *Magnum*

  £13500

  Signed by winemaker Pascal Fayolle.

  This white Hermitage is 100% Marsanne from 45 year old vines. The wine is aged on the fine lees for 18 months in oak barrels giving richness to the palate.

  In the glass, it has wonderful golden colour with an intense and powerful nose. Toasted notes with fruity, floral and buttery nuances. The mouth is rich, wide and very long. The final is long with a beautiful mineral weft.   This is a wine with great ageing potential

  The Hermitage Appellation extends over the hills that dominate the City of Tain l’Hermitage on 136 Ha, on three municipalities of the Drôme: Tain l’Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage and Larnage, on the left bank of the Rhône. The vineyard that this wine is made from is a very small old south facing vineyard that’s dates back to antiquity.
