2022 Chateau de Sancerre Blanc Sancerre

Winemaker Notes: Sparkling light yellow. On the nose, intense and fresh, with notes of white and yellow flesh fruits, minerals, white flowers and exotic fruits. Nice balance between fruitiness, minerality and roundness. Fresh and juicy mouth with relief, long aromatic persistence. Ideal as an aperitif or with seafood, fish and goat cheese.

The Chateau de Sancerre stands in the heart of the Sancerre vineyards. In 1874, the castle was rebuilt on its old site in the style of Louis XII. In 1919 it was purchased, along with part of the vineyards, by Louis Alexandre Marnier-Lapostolle. It was he who restored the vaults and the spiral staircase which flanked the "Feudal Tower" - the only remaining vestige of the medieval castle. He also set up a private museum in Sancerre and was instrumental in building the reputation of Sancerre wines.
