Description
This limited production cuvée is Sancerre as it should be, used to be, but rarely is nowadays, an exquisite wine that expresses the quiet beauty of the Sauvignon Blanc grape matched to the finest terroirs of the region. Opening with an ethereal bouquet of citrus and floral notes, it floats gently over the palate, gradually revealing an inner perfume of white flower, fresh citrus/pear fruit, and a pleasing minerality balanced by lively acidity on the finish. Intended as a reverential hommage to the great traditionally made Sancerres of the past, it succeeds brilliantly. Best enjoyed lightly chilled (remove from the fridge 15 minutes in advance), it has an excellent aging potential of 3 to 5 years.
