Sancerre Blanc, Domaine de Terres Blanches

A Sancerre that is very representative of the appellation. The vineyard plots are located in the municipalities of Bué, Sancerre and Amigny, on limestone and clay soils. After cold settling, to clarify the must while maintaining its aromatic potential, a thermo-regulated fermentation is carried out so the ferment does not get too warm; the wine is kept in contact with the fine lees for a minimum of six months. The nose reveals floral notes with a touch of citrus; the palate is lively with green fruit flavours and a hint of minerality.

The Country

France

Following on from a fantastic vintage the year before, French vineyards endured a mixed bag of weather conditions in the early part of the growing season followed by a long, hot summer which produced some memorable wines, even to rival to the excellence of the previous year.
