Sancerre 2025

Organic

Sancerre from a Chavignol family estate with south- and southwest-facing vines on all three classic Sancerre soils: limestone, flint and white Kimmeridgian marl ('terres blanches'). The plots are vinified separately in temperature-controlled cement tanks. Tasting notes point to citrus, green apple and flint, and one critic called the 2021 smoky and very tense.
