    In a few words ...

    This cuvée is aged for 11 months in barrel, with regular stirring of the lees, followed by 10 months in vat. A full-bodied wine in which yellow fruit brings richness and complexity. An assertive structure supports the elegant marriage of wood and fruit. A rich finish that bursts out to last longer.

    Elegant, pale color.

    Aroma

    Nez très fin, les blancs de Sancerre sont alertes et pleins de fruits, mariés à des arômes à dominantes végétales.

    Wine Floral | Fruity

    Taste

    The attack melts into a rich, round mouthfeel. Long, elegant finish.

    This is my favorite Sancerre: it has the liveliness of Sancerre, but also the fatness that gives it a great texture. very balanced and delicious.

    It has it all: color, nose, roundness and length on the palate! Bravo la Chatelaine.

    Smoky, woody, buttery notes with the freshness of Sauvigon citrus. Delicious

    Fresh, fruity and mineral. Could benefit from another year or two in the cellar, but already very pleasant. Goes well with fish and white meats.

    This wine is both mineral and fruity, as you'd expect from a white Sancerre. Serve with small crottins as an aperitif.
