Chateau de Sancerre is one of the rare French wine estates bearing the name of an appellation. Situated on the left bank of the Loire and overlooking a unique terroir of 4 different soils, its 55-hectare vineyard is planted with vines, representing an average age of 25 years. The region’s rolling hills and semi-continental climate produce lively and crisp Sauvignon Blanc wines boasting good structure, and evoking well-ripened gooseberry aromas and smoky, flinty notes. The wines of Chateau de Sancerre are made, matured and bottled in-house. The art of blending meets high standards in keeping with the Constable of Sancerre’s motto: “Advance before the best”.
To make this white Sancerre, we blend the three characteristic terroirs of the Appellation. Each has its own characteristics: flint brings aging potential, structure, freshness and minerality; the white earths of roundness and aromas of white flowers (lily and acacia) and exotic fruits (lychee and pineapple); the Caillottes (hard limestone) and the Griottes (soft limestone), freshness, intense floral and citrus aromas. The blend of these terroirs produces a fine, elegant and complex vintage.
