The Sancerre Blanc Les Rouchons comes from a 1.03-hectare vineyard planted in 1970 on the flint soils of Fontenay, a lieu-dit that is located north of Sancerre in the village of Saint-Satur. Fermented in stainless steel (two-thirds) and 300- and 600-liter oak barrels (one-third) for 10 to 11 months and bottled without fining or filtration.
This Sancerre opens with an intensely fresh and mineral bouquet with lime, mandarin and iodine aromas. Full-bodied, lush, and elegant on the palate yet also subtle, this is a supple, tight and salty-piquant and finely grippy-finishing Sancerre with good intensity and expression of its terroir.
