Domaine Jean Teiller, Menetou-Salon (Loire Valley, France) 2010

($25, AP Wine Imports):  Menetou-Salon, a small appellation near Sancerre, is a good place for consumers to find vibrant Sauvignon Blanc-based wines, like this one from Domaine Jean Teiller.  Not just delivering grapefruit-tinged fruitiness, this conveys a mouth-watering chalky minerality.  Good intensity and length adds to its distinctiveness and makes it easy to recommend. 89 Michael Apstein Jan 10, 2012
