    • Description

      The Sancerre Blanc from Paul Prieur et Fils is a classic Sauvignon Blanc from the famous Sancerre appellation in the Loire Valley. The wine comes from a mosaic of calcareous and flint-rich vineyards around Verdigny, where the Prieur family has been producing wine for generations. The result is an elegant, fresh, and refined white wine with pronounced minerality and a long, clean finish. This organic and vegan wine is a wonderful example of the quality for which Sancerre is world-renowned.

      Elderflower, green apple, citrus, and flint

      The wine has a clear pale yellow color with a green shimmer. On the nose, elderflower, green apple, lime, and citrus dominate, complemented by subtle notes of pineapple, white flowers, and a refined flint minerality. The taste is crisp, fresh, and lively, with juicy white fruit, good concentration, and a long, elegant finish in which fresh acidity and salty minerality are perfectly balanced.

      Calcareous terroirs and long aging on fine lees

      The 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes grow on various plots with calcareous and clay soils, including famous terroirs around Verdigny. After a careful harvest, the wine ferments slowly at a low temperature to optimally preserve the fresh aromas. The wine then ages for several months on fine lees, which adds extra depth, structure, and complexity without losing its fresh character.

      Perfect with shellfish, fish, and goat cheese

      This Sancerre is an excellent accompaniment to oysters, scallops, grilled fish, prawns, lobster, sushi, and other refined fish dishes. It also forms a classic combination with goat cheese, asparagus, and fresh salads. Its lively character also comes into its own as a stylish aperitif.
