Winemaker Notes: 

"A white wine with white and citrus fruit aromas. On entry, the wine is a combination of liveliness and richness and shows lovely structure on the mid-palate. The finish leaves an impression of freshness and a saline note that adds finesse and length.  The domaine’s vines are planted in some of the finest Sancerre terroirs: Les Monts Damnés, les Cous de Brault, le Chêne Marchand, in total about 30 south and southeast-facing plots, the heritage of a long line of wine growers.  The  "Domaine de Saint-Pierre" wine is created from a blend of all these terroirs."
