2006 Philippe Auchere Cuvée de la Berger, Côteaux du Giennois Blanc, Loire Valley

All the freshness and precision you can ask for from a great springtime white.  The piercing gold color is your first hint at the wine's vibrant personality.   The nose is full of orange blossom and lime with hints of herbs and chalk dust.  The flavors wake up the palate with zingy grapefruit and quince and a subtle touch of minerals and freshly cut grass.  Bright acidity keeps the finish alive and carries out nuances of gooseberry and white flowers.
