($16, Jon-David Headrick Selections): This is the kind of wine that consumers are always searching for: one that over delivers for its appellation. The Touraine appellation pales in prestige to ones like Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé, but, like wines from those areas, this wine delivers the appealing grapefruit-like bite of Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes come from a single parcel of 60-year old vines, which accounts for its complexity. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserves its bright citrus tinged fruit quality while lees-stirring adds just a hint of creaminess. It’s an excellent buy. 89 Michael Apstein Aug 3, 2010
