Reviews

James Suckling 93

A solid, precise and lively Sancerre with so much mineral character. Aromas of leaves, flint, gunpowder, mild spices and dried lemons dominate on the nose. It's medium-bodied yet so intense, full of verve and drive. There is a bright acidity driving the vertical dimension in the long, focused, stony finish. Drink or hold.

This Sancerre wants your attention. Rich orchard fruit wraps itself with quince, apple and baking-spice-dusted roasted pear. Steely in texture with elegant, subtle flavors, the wine has a bright acidity that refreshes the finish.

Technical Details

Food pairing

ES-56 white Sancerre offers elegance and freshness that will match perfectly with white meats and poultry. Our gastronomic suggestions: Grilled quail in crapaudine sauce Alsacian roast guinea fowl.

Tasting notes

The "ES-56" white Sancerre offers incomparable balance and concentration. Its nose, with notes of gunflint and spices, is also reminiscent of Sauvignon flower and its sap. A proud, intense cuvee that will reveal all its elegance and finesse over the years. Remarkably well-balanced, with unequalled finesse and concentration. Best served at 12-14 degrees celcius (54-57 degrees fahrenheit).

Vinification

Alcoholic fermentation partly in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats and partly in Troncais oak barrels. Aged on fine lees for 12 months, with regular stirring of the lees for 7 to 8 months. After bottling, the wine rests in our cellars for several months before being sold.
