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.
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.
Alluring aromas of muddled yellow apple, meadow grass, white peach and dried-lemon-peel shavings fill the nose. The palate is more reserved with a mix of tart and ripe orchard fruit that swims across wet river stone.
