2012 Taste the Difference Pouilly-Fumé, Loire Valley

( £11.49 down to £8.61, 12.5%, Sainsbury's )

Under £10 (at least until August 4) this has to be the best value Sauvignon Blanc in the country. Even at its regular price, it’s an outstanding Loire example of the grape. Pithy, intense and focused with flavours of white pepper, citrus fruit and green herbs, mouthwatering acidity and a fine, minerally finish. Bravo, André Figeat.
