Sancerre White Wine Grande Cuvée AOC

 

The SANCERRE WHITE WINE « GRANDE CUVEE » 2007 comes exclusively from the SAUVIGNON variety, over 1.5 hectares.

The best years only we produce this one. Indeed this cuvee is carefully selected among our old vines more than 45 years old: 60 % Caillotes, 40 % Terres Blanches.

The “Grande Cuvee” is completely picked by hand; the wine making is the same as for the white wine. This cuvee is totally matured in new oak casks of 600 liters, thermo-regulated.
The bottling is done 18 months following the harvest.

SANCERRE WHITE WINE « GRANDE CUVEE AOC 2007 »: This wine shows a pale colour with slight green reflections. The smell is net, nice, fine and fruity, with a tendency to almonds and exotic fruits. The mouth, rather floral; is fat and full. The whole is harmonious and of a great elegance.

It is at its best when served as an aperitif or with fish in a sauce.

It should be served at a temperature of 12 °C.

Its presentation, in a prestigious shaped bottle packaged in black and gold, offers an outstanding bottle that can even be given as a present.
