Chavet, Menetou-Salon (Loire Valley, France) Sauvignon Blanc 2021

 Crisp, dry, and elegant, this wine is also mouth-wateringly aromatic as it is packed with hints of citrus and stone-fruits (peach, nectarine). Chavet’s Menetou-Salon is a terrific choice to accompany oysters and other seafood, to enjoy with goat cheese, and also as an appetite-inducing aperitif.  Menetou-Salon is a village sitting at the eastern edge of the Loire Valley region in classic Sauvignon Blanc territory (the Sancerre appellation lies just northeast of Menetou-Salon).  This region has been producing wine since at least the mid-1400s.
