Vinification : Static racking of the must. Slow alcoholic fermentation at low temperature in thermoragulated stainless steel vats for 7 to 10 weeks. No malolactic fermentation. Stirring of the lees for 3 weeks. Light filtration.

Characteristics: Clear, brilliant pale gold robe. Powerful nose with aromatic qualities developing in the following months. Very representative of the limestone-clay soil found in our village of Bué. Good acidity from the young vintage while at the same time displaying a surprising suppleness and roundness. Very long on the palate. Very good evolution after several months.

Recommendations : Sancerre Blanc makes an excellent aperitif and a wonderful accompaniment for fish, crustaceans, white meat or goat cheese. Well-maturated vintages marry well with foie gras.
