Sancerre Blanc

2023 Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc

Domain Des Griffes Sancerre Blanc, a charming 2023 vintage from the esteemed Sancerre region, is a true embodiment of Sauvignon Blanc's elegance. This lovely white wine showcases a vibrant, pale straw color that gleams enticingly in the glass. On the nose, it bursts with an inviting bouquet of zesty citrus, freshly cut grass, and delicate notes of green apple and white flowers. The palate delivers every bit of the aromatic promise, offering a lively, crisp acidity that is both refreshing and mouthwatering. The purity of fruit shines through with prominent flavors of lemon, lime, and just a whisper of minerality, characteristic of the region's unique terroir. Its well-structured body ensures a satisfying and enjoyable experience, whether paired with seafood, fresh salads, or simply enjoyed on its own. This Sancerre Blanc is not only reflective of its prestigious origin but also a delightful testament to the craftsmanship of Domain Des Griffes.

Lovers of crisp Sauvignon Blanc will be familiar with France's Sancerre appellation. One of the jewels of the Loire Valley region, Sancerre sits on the western banks of the Loire River in central France. Benefitting from a favorable hilltop position and complex limestone soils, the vines here get extra warmth as sunlight reflects off the water. This develops ripeness in the grapes, helping to bring out Sauvignon Blanc's intense gooseberry, nettle and mineral characters. Sancerre is not only known for its Sauvignon Blancs, however. Bright, thirst-quenching Pinot Noir thrives throughout the region. AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) is the most prestige of the quality tiers within France’s wine classification system. AOC-designated wines must follow multiple different rules on a broad range of topics. Wines are regulated on the appellation, varietal inclusion, production methods, alcohol levels, vineyard planting density and age of the vineyard.
