Information

Sancerre is a white wine from the Sancerre region in the Loire Valley, France. It has a pale straw color and a crisp, mineral-driven flavor profile. The nose reveals aromas of citrus, green apple, and a hint of grass. On the palate, it is light-bodied with high acidity and flavors of lemon, lime, and a touch of flint. Sancerre pairs excellently with goat cheese, seafood, and salads.

Fun facts

The kimmeridgian limestone in Sancerre’s soils plays a significant role in the wine’s flavor profile. These soils are rich in marine fossils and give the wines a distinctive minerality, often described as "flinty," which is a hallmark of Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc. The cool climate of the region helps preserve the acidity and aromatic intensity of the wine.
