White dry
A classic, elegant, and pure ‘Sauvignon Blanc’ from one of the Loire Valley’s most renowned appellations – Sancerre AOC. This wine perfectly captures the essence of the region – the minerality of limestone and flint (silex) soils, vibrant acidity, and crystalline aromatic precision.
In the glass, it shines with a pale straw color and subtle green reflections. The nose reveals lemon zest, green gooseberries, freshly cut grass, and white flowers, delicately accented by flinty, stony, and wet limestone nuances – the unmistakable signature of Sancerre.
On the palate, the wine is fresh, dry, and precisely structured, with bright acidity that brings energy and clarity. Flavors of citrus, green apple, and gentle hints of tropical fruit unfold, leading into a long, chalky, mineral finish of striking purity.
The grapes are grown in the hillsides surrounding Chavignol, Verdigny, and Sancerre, where limestone, clay, and flint soils give the wine its distinctive balance between fruitiness and minerality.
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to preserve aromatic freshness, followed by aging on fine lees (sur lie) to add roundness and subtle texture.
Serve at 10–12 °C with goat cheese (especially Crottin de Chavignol), seafood, or light white fish dishes.

It is recommended to serve white Sancerre at 10–12 °C to reveal its minerality and aromas. Red Pinot Noir is best enjoyed slightly chilled, at about 14–16 °C.
