The Nicolas Girard Terre Blanche Menetou-Salon 2020 captivates with its vibrant expression of the Loire Valley’s unique terroir. Scoring 95 points, this Sauvignon Blanc showcases a delightful bouquet of citrus zest, green apple, and a hint of freshly cut grass, all underpinned by a mineral backbone that speaks to its flinty soils. On the palate, it bursts with lively acidity and a refreshing finish that invites another sip. This wine shines best when paired with seafood dishes, particularly grilled scallops or a zesty lemon risotto. With its remarkable quality, this bottle is not just a treat for the senses but a smart buy for anyone seeking a taste of the Loire’s best.
