If the heat-wave plaguing the country right now is getting to you, we have the perfect wine to quench your palate. We can?t think of a more perfect, quaffable wine to beat the heat than a Sancerre. Sauvignon Blanc, the white grape varietal used to make Sancerres, reveals fresh and inviting aromas of citrus fruits laced with floral and mineral notes. La Garenne from Domaine Girard is one of our favorite Sancerres and is exceptionally crisp and refreshing. This delicious wine is bright and reveals flinty-stone notes as well as subtle hints of lime. The grapes come from the ?La Garenne? vineyard located on a steep slope with very rocky limestone soil; the nature of this region?s soil enhances the flinty characteristics as well as mineral and green notes typical of many French Sauvignon Blancs. The 2004 vintage received 90 points from the Wine Spectator and while the 2005 vintage has not yet been rated, we think the wine is another hit from Domaine Girard. We recommend pairing this wine with seafood, cheese, or simply as a refreshing white wine to sip on a hot summer day.
