Description
It reveals the purest facet of Sauvignon Blanc through vibrant aromas of citrus and stone-fruits.
This harmonious cuvée is the Pure expression of theSancerre wines' delicate style.
This Sancerre comes from vines planted
on clayley-limestone slopes, perfectly
exposed to the sun (south - southwest)
in the heart of the Sancerre appellation.
Thanks to a diversity of soils types,
mainly clay and chalk and a strict
blending from selected plots “Pure”
shows ripe citrus fruits aromas, finesse,
and a nice minerality.
Vinification
The grapes are carefully and quickly
brought to the cellar. After settling for
24 to 36 hours, the must is placed in
thermoregulated stainless steel tanks
where fermentation takes place at between 15 and 18°C. At the end of fermentation, the first racking is carried
out to remove the first lees. It is then
matured on its fine lees at cool temperature during 5 months before bottling.
Tasting notes
“Pure ” is typical of the Sancerre appellation style. This wine displays a pale
gold with green hints. Very expressive
and intense with lime, apple and gunflint aromas. The palate is soft, round
and well-balanced by the freshness and
the long-lasting acidity on the finish,
revealing a lovely minerality.
A marvelous companion for shellfish and roasted fish. It matches harmoniously with oriental dishes, sushi,
fish with a sauce. Also very good with
roasted white meats and of course with
Crottin de Chavignol goat cheese, produced in the same region.
