Region: Loire
Subregion: Sancerre
Grape: Sauvignon Blanc
Vinification: Stainless Steel, wild fermentation, natural.
Tasting: The wine is hugely aromatic, with grapefruit, honeyed leechee, and high toned grass notes. A bit of minerality, but really lots of ripe fruit. Pure and deep. The palate is very lush and rounder than a typical Sancerre or Sauvignon blanc. 2015 was hot, and it shows. But the wine remains dry and the grassy herbal components show through nicely on the palate. Big serious wine. Miam.
Natural Winemaking is rare enough in Sancerre, the most famous appelation in the Loire. We’re lucky to have this great example of what is possible.
