2004 Francois Cazin "Le Petit Chambord," Cheverny. Whereas most of the white wines from the Loire are 100% single grape varietal wines, by law Cheverny wines must be a blend of at least two grape varieties (sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, chenin blanc, and/or romorantin). This wine is 85% sauvignon blanc and 15% chardonnay. There's really no mystery to this wine -- it's all about the crisp acidity, tart citrus family fruits, and a steely backbone. There's the slightest floral whiff on the nose, but otherwise this wine is all about the line between racy and elegant. And at or slight above $10, it's in the top of the class in that price range.
