2013 Terres Blanches Saumur
After one of our long work days, we came home and opened up this bottle of 2013 Terres Blanches Saumur. Saumur is located in the Loire region of France. It is made from one of our favorite white wine grapes, Chenin Blanc. We are also growing Chenin Blanc, so when my husband brought home this bottle and we took a sip, "Mmmmmm" was what I thought. Sometimes, Chenin Blanc has this undertone of umeshu (plum wine) which reminds me of being five years old in Japan and having a sip of the plum wine that my Aunty made. What is even more delightful about this wine is that my husband purchased it for less than $14.00. This will be one of our go to wines for summer sipping!
