Cape Heritage and The Loire

Timed Online Auction, 1 - 12 August 2024

The Loire
About the Session

An eclectic selection of interesting and super rare vintages from the Loire Valley. Rich in ancient limestone and silex soils, the Loire valley is known for their passionate, historic family producers, many of them farming organically, and forming the spiritual cradle of noble varieties including the likes of Sauvignon blanc in the famous appellations of Sancerre and Pouilly Fume in the continental east, through the Chenins from Vouvray, and Cabernet Franc from Chinon and Saumur further downstream to the west. Brimming with variety and value, the catalogue includes highly collectable lots from acclaimed classics like Domaine  Huet,  Alphonse Mellot, Henri Bourgeois and Thierry Germain.

Critics Ratings

‘Dominated by minerality, this is a flinty and steel textured wine. It has some richness while remaining straight and narrow. With its structured character, it will need to age for over several years.’ – Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 91/100 (Sep 2012)

‘This elegant white displays a nice range of lemon zest, chive flower, grapefruit pulp and chamomile notes woven together, backed by an herb-inflected finish. Drink now.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (Nov 2012)
