\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another nice dinner, this time at le Mange-Grenouille<\/a> in Saint Aignan. No frogs: just some delicious wines and really impressive food, including a really nice pigeon and one of the most visually appealing desserts I have had in a while. Two slightly less well celebrated Loire varieties shone. First, Romorantin, and second C\u00f4t (aka Malbec – and in the Loire you don’t pronounce the ‘t’ of C\u00f4t)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Vouvray Brut R\u00e9gis Cruchet NV Loire<\/strong>
\nThis sparkling Vouvray is fresh and intense with with apples and honey, coupled with citrusy acidity. A strongly fruity style. 88\/100<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Benoit Daridan Cour-Cheverny 2009 Loire<\/strong>
\nA varietal Romorantin. Yellow colour. Rich, bold and quite textured with sweet pear and peach fruit. Lovely rich fruit quality here with some melony richness. Really impressive wine. 92\/100<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLa Chapini\u00e8re C\u00f4t Garnon 2009 Touraine, Loire<\/strong>
\nDeep coloured. Beautifully intense vivid blackcurrant, blackberry and black cherry fruit. Some richness of texture. Very pure with good acidity. Lovely with a nice grippy edge to it. Lovely wine. 92\/100<\/p>\n
