Thauvenay

Yesterday I finished off a bottle of one of my favorite white wines, Chateau de Thauvenay Sancerre 2004, France. I had opened it a couple of evenings ago when we had filet of sole for dinner, and then I finished it last night while cooking for my wife and my parents. First of all, it's a great deal - one of the cheaper Sancerre's I have found, and it's been pretty consistant bottle to bottle (I've opened 3). It's a very bright and crisp wine, with citrus and some flowers and a nice minerality to it. The wine's website says that it finishes with flavors of raspberries, but we think it has more of a taste of green apples at the end. Whatever it is, I like it and I will buy more.
