| BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE MAY 23, 2008 Friday Night Bubbles Cousin cultivates Gamay, Grolleau, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, and Chenin Blanc - there is something for everyone in this portfolio. They can be funky and a bit rustic, but they evolve beautifully in the glass and in the cellar, and offer a clean and pure expression of the terroir that is Layon. | | DR. VINO JUNE 2, 2010 Do you want alcohol levels in reviews? [poll] & a comment from Joly Last week’s New York Times reviewed some wines from Savennières, the Loire appellation that makes often-stunning, always dry versions of chenin blanc.

BROOKLYN GUY LOVES WINE | MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2009  Domaine de Bellivière - Keeping it Real in the Northern Loire
The northern most vineyards in western France are in the Loire Valley appellations of Jasnières and Coteaux du Loir. The Chenin Blancs from these places have never been as sought after as those from Vouvray, Montlouis, or Savennières. And there hasn't exactly been a plethora of inspired grower/producers either.
