La Croix du Roy Sancerre. A delicious white wine!

DateTuesday, October 16, 2012 at 11:37PM

You must check this wine out, La Croix du Roy Sancerre.  Sancerre is France's version of Sauvignon Blanc, or more accurately its the other way around.  Regardless, it is a very worthy example of the crisp, citrusy, minerally refreshing wine that this grape produces.  A terrific find indeed!  A new footnote, in today's New York Times, June 5, 2014, La Croix Du Roy was one of the 3 recommended Sancerres to familiarize novice, and not so novice, wine lovers to this varietal. It was featured in a monthly column titled "Wine School" by Eric Asimov. Here are some reader comments. 

  “It was delicious and paralleled what I detected by smell: delicate, fresh, citrusy and balanced by mineral notes. We had it with sushi and it was a lovely dinner companion. Slightly warmer temperature brought out nuances and balance to flavors.”

 

  “To me, the texture felt like a bunch of tasty white grapes instantly melting in my mouth. It was almost like a sweet-sour combination. The wine’s aroma and the taste had a somewhat powerful citrusy feel to it, smooth to the taste buds, with a quick, strong sensation, but not lingering. This wine definitely had a stronger citrus-like aroma and taste to it, as compared to other sauvignon blancs I have tasted. The wine was paired with some fresh goat cheese and some bay scallops, along with a small salad. It went well.” —
