Sancerre is a quaint historic village located in the eastern Loire Valley within central France. Situated along the Loire River, Sancerre is well recognized for its distinguished Sauvignon Blancs and elegant Pinot Noirs. Domaine Hubert Brochard’s family heritage dates back 125 years in this region as they expanded their winegrowing craftsmanship establishing a series of Sancerre parcel and terroir series wines; Chateau de Fontaine-Audon, Chateau de Thauvenay, Le Trois Coteaux, La Cotes des Monts Damnes, Le Cul de Beaujeau and La Grande Haie.

The Sauvignon Blanc for this bottling is sourced from Domaine Brochard’s treasured 37-acre parcel of vineyards grown on silex (flint) sub-soils. This wine is fermented in stainless tanks and aged on the lees for six months. These wines are some of the most expressive Sauvignon Blanc’s anywhere with an intellectual personality that will make you a devoted follower of this grape. Pale greenish yellow in appearance this wine reveals a subtle bouquet of peach blossom and mint. Musk melon, pink grapefruit, green sorbet and dried citrus peels are layered with finely crushed chalk adding texture and a juicy mouthwatering freshness that carry through to the finish. The savory notes within the core make this a great gastronomic wine.
