Sancerre Avellation Sancerre

2018 Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc

Francois Crochet's Sancerre is an exquisite expression of the Sauvignon Blanc varietal, hailing from the famed Sancerre region in France. The 2018 vintage showcases a vibrant white hue that tantalizes the eye. With a medium body, this wine strikes a harmonious balance, offering a refreshing mouthfeel that is both lively and uplifting. The acidity is pronounced, enhancing its crisp profile and making it incredibly refreshing on the palate. Fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes of zesty lemon, green apple, and a hint of mineral undertones that reflect the region's unique terroir. The wine is bone dry, providing a clean finish that invites one to take another sip. Perfect for pairing with seafood dishes or enjoyed on its own, this Sancerre is a delightful testament to the artistry of winemaking in the Loire Valley.

France

While it was not the first country to master winemaking, no other country has determined the course of wine and wine culture as much as France. From the sparkling wines of Champagne to the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of Burgundy; from Bordeaux's sumptuous blends to Alsace's Riesling; and from the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blancs to exciting new regions like Pays d'Oc in the south, France has given the world nearly all the major styles and grape varieties that dominate what we drink today. There are numerous reasons why France and wine are so inextricably linked, but perhaps the foremost is geography. Few places can rival France's unique array of hot and cool-climate regions and the abundant maritime influences and mountainous terrain found throughout the country.
