White dry
A higher-end Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre, made from old vines grown across several vineyard sites in the region. The vineyards are located around Chavignol, Verdigny and Saint-Satur, where three characteristic Sancerre soil types predominate: limestone stones (caillottes), marl (terres blanches) and flint (silex). This geological diversity contributes not only to the wine’s fruit character but also to its pronounced mineral structure.
The nose combines ripe citrus fruit, white peach, gooseberry and herbal notes, complemented by smoky, chalky and wet-stone nuances that become more pronounced as the wine opens in the glass. The fruit profile remains clean and precise, while a mineral and subtly spicy character adds further complexity.
On the palate, Jadis shows concentration and structure while retaining the freshness characteristic of Sancerre. Bright acidity provides energy, while ageing on the lees contributes broader, creamier texture. Citrus and white peach flavours are complemented by chalky minerality, a subtle saline character and delicate spice. The finish is long, dry and taut.
The grapes are harvested from old vines across several Sancerre sites. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, followed by 10–12 months of ageing on the lees.
It is recommended to serve this wine at a temperature of 10–12 °C and pair it with oysters, lemon-seasoned pan-seared trout, or fresh goat cheese and pears.
