CONTINUED FROM PAGE E9 SEE EVENTS, PAGE E11 ley, France Grapes: Blend of chardonnay, chasselas, altesse and jacquere

As briefly explained above, France’s Loire Valley produces a wide range of outstanding, affordable white wines. And while they may be best known for their chenin blancs, this beautiful blended white wine shows the wide range of wines available from this part of central France.

Bright lemon flavors take center stage on the first sip, followed by hints of sea salt, minerals and lime. A few minutes later, those flavors become slightly more muted and understated but remain light and bright and refreshing.

Southwestern France often gets overlooked when it comes to wine. What a shame. Some of best bargains around can be found in this corner of France near the Spanish border.

Most people who do know about wines from this part of France know about their reds, especially malbecs from Cahors. This wonderful wine illustrates why their whites deserve attention as well. Its crisp, zesty flavors cover a wide range, including sea salt, lemon, lime and hints of fresh-cut green grass.
