Sauvignon Blanc “Summer in a Bottle Loire Valley”, Wolffer Estate, NY, 2024

Wölffer “Summer in a Bottle” Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2025

This is a new 2025 release, made in partnership with the Bougrier family in Touraine, Loire Valley. I found one published professional rating so far:

• James Suckling — 91 points: Wölffer currently lists the 2025 Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc at 91 points, though the detailed James Suckling tasting note for this specific 2025 bottling is not yet publicly reproduced on Wölffer's site.

Winemaker profile: Gooseberry, lime and elderberry aromas; vibrant acidity, fine minerality and a long lees-driven finish. Wölffer describes it as fresh and structured rather than grassy, with a saline/mineral character typical of Touraine.

Summary: 91 points James Suckling. A fresh, mineral-driven Loire Sauvignon Blanc with gooseberry, lime and elderflower/elderberry notes, lively acidity and a long, elegant lees finish. Excellent seafood and goat-cheese wine.
