Went to my first French winery on Wednesday, Domaine de Ris. Met the winemaker and tasted his chardonnay, chenin blanc, sparkling cremant de loire, cab/malbec blend, and cab franc. All really great. Loved the chenin and the cremant especially. the cab france here is different from a Chinon or Bourgeuil. It's lighter, which is odd b/c it's south of them. But the soil is different I was told. It's GOULEYANT, which means a light refreshing mouthfeel. No word in english (nothing in polite conversation anyway!). Not sold outside of Europe because small production. 6 Euro/bottle. Nice!
