Alcohol: 13%
Grape(s): Sauvignon Blanc
Localization: Loire, France
Tasting Notes: Pale gold with green highlights, limpid. The intense nose shows a broad and complete palate of aromas: floral sensations (violets) are accompanied by fruity notes (litchi), and beautiful minerality (gun smoke). Round and full at first, its vivacious side slowly builds to the end, which reveals harmonious notes of citrus (lemon, grapefruit). A dense white Sancerre that finishes with a lingering aromatic persistence.
Notes: Produced from 50 year old vines planted on a limestone pebble soil
Food Pairing: This is a wine that will keep well for several years. Drink as an aperitif or with Loire river fish, and white meats.
The Domain: The Neveu family, viticulteurs father and son, have been based in the heart of the Chavignol vineyards for generations, and today carry on the tradition of the great Sancerrois vignerons. Valérie (André Neveu’s daughter), and her husband Thomas, now run the domaine that extends to about 13 hectares of vines of AOC Sancerre red, white and rosé. They harvest, vinify and sell everything themselves.
