Sancerre Blanc
SKU ESSA
Domaine de l’Estang’s Sancerre comes from two hectare’s worth of parcels, split between the flinty soils of Ménétréol-sous-Sancerre and the clay-limestone soils of Thauvenay, and planted between 2004 and 2012. With just 50 milligrams per liter of added sulfur, this is lively and expansive, bursting with tangy orchard fruit and overlaid with gentle floral elements. Like its Coteaux du Giennois counterpart, it is simultaneously rich and mineral-driven, offering a satisfying breadth of texture rarely encountered in more heavily manipulated and market-driven versions of the appellation.

About Domaine de l’Estang
It is refreshing to encounter a grower in the Sauvignon-Blanc-dominated appellations of the Loire Valley who farms responsibly and who takes his time in the cellar, striving for something distinctive and personal rather than simply marketable. With holdings both in Sancerre and the nearby Coteaux du Giennois appellation, Bertrand Graillot produces wines which combine typicity and individuality in highly appealing fashion.
