Kiwi Sauvignon alternatives

I always buy my mother a bottle of New ZealandSauvignon Blanc to drink at her family birthday meal. I’d like to broaden her wine horizons gently - can you suggest a few Loire producers who make good-quality Sauvignon Blancs in a riper style ? Rachel Harris

Jim Budd, DWWA Regional Chair for Loire, replies :

The best places to find good-quality Sauvignon Blancs in a riper style are in Sancerre (...). You could also try the top wines from Sancerre producers like (...) Henry Natter’s Cuvée François de la Grange de Montigny (...).
