Producer: Cherrier Père et Fils 
Region: Sancerre, Loire, France 
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc 
Year: 2023   

Winemaker Notes: 

"This single-vineyard selection highlights the region’s “terres blanches,” soils that mix chalk and flint, which are widely held to be the best of the best when it comes to Sancerre. You can taste the sea salt, smell the crushed oyster shells and savor the citrus-bright energy and suave texture with each and every sip.  Aromas of citrus zest, lime juice, crushed stones, sea spray, preserved lemons. Richly aromatic, light on the tongue. Fresh notes of citrus, white fruit, fresh hay." 

About the Producer: 

"The Cherrier family has been a trusted name in Sancerre since the late 1800s. Here in Chaudoux, north of the village of Sancerre proper, Sauvignon Blanc is equally in its element: soils are a refined mix of flint and chalk, a terroir marriage that makes the best Sancerre so vibrant. Today it is Pierre Cherrier’s sons, François and Jean-Marie, who have taken winemaking at this generations-deep estate to a whole new level, with terroir-true wines that are stunning values for their high quality."
