"Bright straw-yellow. Captivating aromas of poached pear, licorice and wet stone. Rich, velvety and pure but still a touch austere, with intense minerality firming the lush pit fruit flavors. The long, sumptuous finish is densely packed, with tobacco and a subtle herbal nuance adding further complexity. This is my favorite of the three single-vineyard offerings and one of the finest Sancerres of the vintage."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Yields crisp, aromatic whites with citrus, herb and grassy notes. It shines in the Loire, Bordeaux blends and around the world for its refreshing zip.
