Bright and expressive on the nose with classic Sancerre hallmarks of zesty grapefruit, white peach, and freshly cut grass, underpinned by a distinctive flinty, smoky minerality. On the palate, the wine is crisp and focused with vibrant acidity, delivering flavours of green apple, lemon zest, and gooseberry. The texture is sleek and precise, with a lingering saline, mineral-driven finish that speaks clearly of its Loire terroir.

About this wine
Hubert Brochard makes this Sancerre in the eastern Loire, where Sauvignon Blanc takes on the flinty, chalky character of the appellation's famous silex and kimmeridgian soils. It is a benchmark expression of the grape in its spiritual home, vinified for precision rather than power.
Expect a taut, mineral white with citrus zest, white peach and a gooseberry edge, finishing dry and long. Serve well chilled alongside oysters, goat's cheese, green vegetables or a spicy Asian dish on deck.
