In the vineyards along the upper course of the Loire, Sauvignon Blanc reigns supreme. Its reputation has grown steadily since the 1970s with the fashion for Sancerre wines.
This grape variety has extremely intense aromas, and when grown on the flinty soils surrounding Sancerre, it can display a complexity and finesse rarely found elsewhere.
- Nose: slightly closed. Notes of pink grapefruit with a hint of cream and red tomato.
- Palate: supple and salivating.
Tasting date: March 2024.
OUR OPINION: the wine was a little closed on tasting, but more open the next day. You'll have to wait and see, as it seems to have a great ageing potential. In the meantime, don't hesitate to decant it for an hour.
