Why this wine
Sancerre is Sauvignon Blanc on Kimmeridgian limestone, and it tastes nothing like the New Zealand version — flinty and restrained rather than tropical. A traditional grower's expression.
Our advantages:
Description
How it tastes
Vibrant grapefruit and lemon with real weight, closing clean, crisp and mineral. Fermented in stainless steel and matured on lees without malolactic, which keeps the acidity intact.
The producer
The Millet family have made wine at Bué for five generations, Gérard and Isabelle now farming twenty-four hectares with their son Steve. Sancerre sits on the left bank of the Loire, directly opposite Pouilly-Fumé.
Food and drinking
Good with seafood, salads and poultry & pork. Ready now, and will hold for a few years yet. Serve at 8–10°C.
