Region: Loire, France

Composition: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

History: Château de Sancerre is a picturesque hilltop estate in France’s Loire Valley, known for producing some of the world’s finest Sauvignon Blanc wines. The estate’s vineyards sit on limestone-rich soils and benefit from a cool continental climate that gives the wines distinctive minerality and freshness. The Sancerre region is renowned for crisp, citrusy white wines dominated by zesty grapefruit and green apple flavors, with balancing acidity and a subtle herbaceous note. Château de Sancerre’s winemaking philosophy is rooted in tradition and excellence, with minimal intervention to let the terroir shine through.

Tasting Notes:

The nose is complex, with aromas of lily, quince, and a hint of vanilla that gives way to nougat. The palate is very demonstrative, with magnificent acidity giving way to aromas of pear, apricot, and raisin. A beautiful harmony emerges between the grape variety’s freshness and the oak aging.
