Tasting Notes
Brilliant pale golden robe with golden highlights. Typical Sauvignon Blanc intense nose. Beautiful complexity between citrus, white flowers and fruit, and mineral overtones. On the palate, the same flavors are delicately balanced by a beautiful structure and continuous freshness. The final impression is very agreeable and persistent.

Food Pairings
It goes marvelously with seafood, fish (zander, trout, pike, etc.), and Crottin de Chavignol goat cheese. Enjoy chilled, but not freezing (8 to 10 degrees C).

If it wasn't for the label saying 2022 Sancerre, I would've guessed this was a 2021 with its racy, lean, classic personality. Light in body and taut with a cooler flavor profile redolent of green apple, gooseberry, citrus and flint. It's Sancerre for those who like a classic, cooler climate profile, which includes me.
