Sancerre Blanc 'Terre de Maimbray' 2022, Loire, France

Very pure, mineral, fresh citrus fruit and floral aromas, which are so invitingly subtle, fresh wine finish.

£26.00

Tasting Notes - Powerful aromas of white and yellow fruits with hints of citrus lead to a palate that is finely balanced between rich fruit and juicy sauvignon zest. A precise and balanced Sancerre, with the expression of the fruit and a nice minerality. The attack is crunchy with notes of citrus fruits and sweet spices, the mid-palate has a nice fatness. Beautiful expression of Sancerre, unvarnished and at a very good price to quality ratio!

Blend - Sauvignon Blanc 100%

Producer - The vineyards, the majority of which are located in Maimbray, lie on classic clay/ chalk soils known locally as ‘Terres Blanches’.​ Here the soils are pure chalk ‘Caillottes’. Working all the 14 hectares of vineyards manually, without weed killers or use of industrial fertilisers, contributes greatly to the ultimate quality of their wines, revealing an excellent natural expression of their origins. Pascal also believes in retaining grass cover between the rows in order to provide competition to the vines’ roots, reduce vineyard humidity and stimulate nitrogen production. Slow and gentle pneumatic pressing, fermentation with selected neutral yeasts in thermoregulated stainless steel vats
