Why this wine
The Cherrier family have farmed here since 1848, and this is Sancerre in its riper register - full and textured rather than lean, with the appellation's flint still running underneath. Minimal intervention in vineyard and cellar, with fruit drawn across all three of Sancerre's classic soil types.

How it tastes
Ripe apricot and pineapple lead, with floral notes behind them and a bergamot-lemon lift on the finish. The attack is fresh and the palate full and rich, with a distinct mineral edge and enough bright acidity to carry the weight. Long and intense. Sauvignon Blanc 100%.
The producer
The Cherrier family have held this Sancerre estate since 1848, and the domaine takes its name from one of their ancestral parcels. François and Jean-Marie Cherrier have run it since 1994 on a principle of minimal intervention in vineyard and cellar, working vines in the heart of the appellation across its three classic soils - clayey-siliceous, silex and clayey-chalk - with ploughing, hoeing and short pruning, and no fertilisers for many years. The grapes were pressed within two hours of picking to keep the freshness, the must settled for 24 hours and racked, then fermented in stainless steel at 19-20°C and matured on its fine lees for texture before cold stabilisation, filtration and bottling.
Food and drinking
Serve at 8-10°C. It suits grilled sea bass, dressed crab, goat's cheese and a herb-dressed green salad. Drink over the next three to five years; no decanting needed. Sealed with a technical cork. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
