Sancerre White Wine AOC

 

The SANCERRE WHITE WINE AOC 2009 comes exclusively from the SAUVIGNON GRAPE variety which is cultivated on 17 hectares (¾ Caillotes, ¼ Terres Blanches).

As soon as harvested, the white grapes are pressed in a pneumatic press and separated from the musts. The temperature during the fermentation is carefully controlled to give the wine bloom and elegance. The fermentation is made thanks to a fermenting starter of natural yeasts. Musts are regularly pumped over, then blended and after fined over bentonite. It is then cooled to avoid tartaric sediment and filtered through Kieselguhr.

The labour of nature and a mineral soil find a beautiful expression in the 2009 vintage.
With a gold pale tints and a smell of bush peach and grapefruits, the vintage 2009 is very fruity, dry, nervous and harmonious, fresh, with an harmony of citrus fruits and stone fruits.
It can be drunk as an aperitif. Served with starter dishes, it accompanies very well seafood and fish as well as the famous Chavignol goat cheese.

It should be served at a temperature between 8° to 10°.
