DOMAINE SAUTEREAU "Sancerre" 2022 - Sauvignon Blanc - Loire Valley, France
DOMAINE SAUTEREAU "Sancerre" - Sauvignon Blanc - Loire Valley, FRANCE
Pale gold in colour, limpid and brilliant with silver reflections. Initially expressive on the nose with fruity notes (peach, pineapple) and a more mineral background (light flint). After aeration, citrus aromas appear, combined with subtle notes of aromatic herbs (rosemary). The whole is fresh and delicate. The attack on the palate is lively, acidulous with lemony notes bringing energy. The finish is more mineral; a beautiful, mouth-watering expression of the limestone terroir from which it is born.

Very fruity nose of citrus fruits (grapefuit, lemon) and stone fruits (white peach). Some delicate white flowers and mineral notes give finesse. At first, in the mouth, the wine is ample but it is then followed by a beautiful and refreshing acidity. Long delicate and salty finish. A pure and elegant wine. Vintage in image may vary.

Vineyard Info
The story begins back in 1923. Under the leadership of Abbé Balitrand, a number of winegrowers joined forces to better withstand the economic difficulties of the period. Together, in the middle of the Chablis vineyards, they created a cooperative winery to market their wines. Until the mid-1950s, the members of the cooperative delivered their production to La Chablisienne, who was then responsible for creating the blends and for selling them, mainly to wholesalers.
However, La Chablisienne wanted to go much further and create a style of its own. So it was decided that the harvest would be delivered in the form of musts (unfermented juice), a particularity that has become the trademark of the house and giving it total control over the winemaking processes. There is constant information sharing between the winegrowers and the technicians, linking the quality of the musts to the parcels that produced the grapes thus ensuring the best possible technical guidance.
La Chablisienne, in true pioneer spirit, has never ceased to meet a wide range of challenges in areas as diverse as winegrowing and winemaking, human resources and marketing. It is the meticulous work of all those involved that gives wines which constantly improve with the passage of time.
