Arnaud Lambert Saumur Les Perrières

Not bad, perfectly enjoyable but no more. Still enough citrus flavours, but surprisingly developed, with a slightly bitter tartiness to the finish that probably doesn't bode well if you want to cellar it much longer. Personally I wouldn't risk it.

This is really rather nice. Lime, pear, salt, crisp, clean, very nicely balanced, clean finish. Pairs well with soft cheese, but I could see it pairing with many other things. Definitely a repeat buy at the ~US$23 that I paid. In Europe at ~12-15 euros this would be a megabuy.

This is a beautiful wine. Fine and flinty, with green apple fruit and a touch of mint. The palate oozes saline minerality. It has good depth, is compact and complex and has terrific cut.

Very mouth-watering aromas of lime, seaspray and pear, after which the first sip didn't disappoint - fresh lime and lots of it, then a cooler taste of apples and pears, with a crisp but persistent finish. It doesn't quite have the complexity yet that age will bring, but very promising and at 13 euros, good value.
