The grapes are harvested from a plot on the south-facing limestone hills of the village of Bué. The griotte soil and chalky subsoil give the wine a powerful minerality that makes it appealing when young, but also more enjoyable with a few years of aging.

Owning & Enjoying

Tasting notes
Pale gold in color with a slight greenish sheen. From the glass, you can taste lemon peel, white peach, and honeysuckle.
Fresh and gorgeous aromas emerge, gradually revealing hints of flint and wet chalk, typical of the calcareous soil.
spread.
The taste is extremely pure and sharp. The firm acidity gives the wine structure, and the saltiness of the minerals enhances the umami.
Aging on the lees for 18 months adds depth and smooth texture to the flavor, giving it a very long stay in the mouth.
This is a classic and refined Sancerre that is highly expressive of the terroir, and we can expect it to evolve further with several years of aging.

Pairing
Raw oysters, sauteed chicken in lemon butter, asparagus and goat cheese salad
