Awards/Ratings
No single high-profile universal score found for the basic 2022 estate Sancerre blanc; widely reviewed by merchants praising flint/mineral purity and freshness. See retailer and critic notes

Tasting Note
Crisp, flinty Sauvignon Blanc with citrus, gooseberry, pear, elderflower and chalky minerality; bright acidity and a lean, stony finish (youthful, precise).

Food Pairing
Western: fresh oysters, goat cheese (chèvre), grilled sea bass, lemon‑herb chicken, salads with vinaigrette. Asian: sashimi/sushi, Vietnamese grilled fish, Thai green papaya salad, steamed shellfish with ginger and scallions.

Production Method
Hand-harvested, organic/biodynamic viticulture; spontaneous or natural yeast fermentation in stainless tanks, short lees aging; bottled typically unfined/unfiltered.

Vineyard Info
