Petit Villebois Sauvignon Blanc 2010, crisp and zesty

Petit Villebois Sauvignon Blanc 2010 by Sam Brown
“Petit Villebois is not a caricature, it’s just what I want from a Loire Sauvignon Blanc. Although Villebois produce Sancerre and Pouilly Fume, this Petit Villebois is one of their cheaper wines and is released under the Vin de Pays du Val de Loire banner. It’s got the classic pale straw colour that you would expect along with a rounded mouth feel, nice acidity and a long finish. It’s crisp and zesty with tropical fruit aromas and a hint of elderflower.

The Villebois wines have been reviewed by her with impressive results:

Villebois, Brut NV Crémant de Loire 15.5. Drink 2011-2012

Joost de Villebois. Very clean and fresh. Aged and really very clean – just slightly chewy. Nice clean packaging.

Villebois, Petit Villebois 2010 Vin de Pays du Val de Loire. 15. Drink 2011

Made by Joost De Villebois at La Chardoisie. Very light, dry nose. Pretty hard work but no excess sweetness. 12%

Villebois Sauvignon Blanc 2010. 16. Drink 2011

From Joost De Villebois’ own vineyards, south of Blois on the banks of the Cher. Much more obviously expressive than the Petit Villebois. Really racy and lively. Good balance. GV . Appetising. Also sold in Benelux. 12%

Villebois 2010 Sancerre .15.5. Drink 2011

From three controlled vineyards. Open and regular and a bit galumphing – not the finesse and expression of the Sauvignon Blanc 12.5%

Villebois 2010 Pouilly-Fumé .16. Drink 2011-2012

From controlled vineyards. Firm, scented, much more convincing on the nose than the Sancerre. Juicy, green fruited, though quite open. 12.5%

Villebois Prestige 2010. Light and fantastically flavoured: a review

Villebois Prestige 2010

Villebois Sauvignon Blanc Prestige review » Old Parn’s Wine Blog

A Simple, Straightforward Sauvignon Blanc. I probably don’t need to describe it too much. It’s got that nettley, grassy, springy thing. That gob-pleasing blast that’s the white wine world’s equivalent of MSG. Accessible. Light yet tongue-clubbingly flavoured.

Petit Villebois: to chill or not to chill

Comment on: Petit Villebois Sauvignon Blanc 2010

I enjoyed drinking this straight from the fridge and feeling the wine
develop with every mouthful.

Light, refreshing and dangerously drinkable when chilled.

Citrus fruit aromas begin to develop as the wine warms up and the
taste becomes sharper and pleasantly fruity with hints of lemon,
grapefruit and gooseberry.

Towards the bottom of the glass the nose has become more tropical and
the citrus flavours take on a more acidic note which is almost too
strong but in fact strangely moreish….time to top up again.

It’s at it’s best somewhere between chilled and 5 minutes later but on
a hot summers day it’s so perfectly drinkable you’d be lucky if
there’s any left by then.

To chill or not to chill that is the question. There is a school of
thought that straight from the fridge is to cold, but like you I feel
it allows the wine to develop in the glass and makes for a better all
round experience.
