This 2010 Sancerre shines with its freshness, minerality, and rich citrus aromas. We love its lively, crisp character and the lovely mineral tension on the finish. It makes the perfect pairing with the famous Crottin de Chavignol... A superb 2010 vintage not to be missed!

Rated estate (2011 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

"This thirty-something winemaker has made a name for himself since 2000 with his red Sancerre wines, but his ambitions extend beyond Pinot Noir. His Sauvignon Blancs are also gaining in quality and finesse, expressing themselves in a rich, ripe style typical of the Bué region—particularly the Chêne Marchand area."
