Product notes

This Sancerre is a cuvée made from the three famous Sancerre terroirs. It has an intense bouquet and a flavorful palate. It bursts forth with lots of ripe fruit flavors and vegetal aromas. A new world-style Sancerre, yet true to its unique terroirs.

Tasting notes

Pale green-yellow color. Intense vegetal and citrus aromas on the nose. An unctuous, yet powerful, palate. The intense gooseberry flavors are complimented by a long lasting finale.Great to enjoy as an apéritif. Goes very well with oysters or lobster but excellent with goat cheese.

This Sancerre leans into being fulsome. Slightly gold in color, the wine has an aromatic nose of golden apple, orange marmalade, Bosc pear and dried white blossom petal. The wine is slightly creamy in texture with a combination of ripe and tart fruit on the palate.

Fruity and straightforward with green apples, sliced pears and warm herbs on the nose. Medium body with fresh acidity. Fruity and refreshing with a clean finish.
