Description

Save 10% on the 75cl bottle, previously priced at £23.50. Offer valid while stocks last. BBX listings excluded.

This cool and elegant Sancerre is made for us by 10th-generation vigneron David Sautereau. The nose is fresh and mineral, with citrus fruits mingling with crushed stone. In the mouth, the attack is precise, crisp and energetic, with pleasing mid-palate weight and a saline finish. This is excellent with fresh seafood or the local crottin de Chavignol goat’s cheese.

About this wine

Sauvignon Blanc

An important white grape in Bordeaux and the Loire Valley that has now found fame in New Zealand and now Chile. It thrives on the gravelly soils of Bordeaux and is blended with Sémillon to produce fresh, dry, crisp  Bordeaux Blancs, as well as more prestigious Cru Classé White Graves. It is also blended with Sémillon, though in lower proportions, to produce the great sweet wines of Sauternes. It performs well in the Loire Valley and particularly on the well-drained chalky soils found in Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, where it produces bone dry, highly aromatic, racy wines, with grassy and sometimes smoky, gunflint-like nuances.

Sancerre

Sancerre

Sancerre is a famous white Sauvignon Blanc appellation located on the left bank of the Loire. Its 14 communes are widely dispersed, covering nearly 3,000 hectares over vertiginous valleys at up to 350 metres above sea level, and three distinct soil types. As with nearby Pouilly-Fumé, an increasing number of single-vineyard wines are being raised in French oak, mostly 500-litre and demi-muids.

Situated in the village of Crézancy 7km from the town of Sancerre, the 18ha Domaine Sautereau has been producing Sancerres for nine generations. Winemaker David Sautereau uses a blend of age-old practises and modern techniques to show the terroir characteristics of Sancerre at their best. A cool fermentation ensures a particularly pure, fruity style while 3 months on the lees provide extra complexity and richness. The wines are stored in stainless steel vats and bottled 6 months after the harvest for extra freshness. Discover the story behind our Own Selection Sancerre, made for us by David. Read more
