90pts Wine Spectator

A piercing version, with a flinty profile to the firm stone fruit, flecked with oregano and a hint of honeysuckle. Angular and focused, showing density on the bone-dry, smoky finish. Drink now through 2028. 8,180 cases imported.

Vinous

The 2023 Sancerre is done in an appetizing, tender style with delicate restraint and balance. It is not massively aromatic but has an ease of elderflower and citrus. It feels like it's more hands-off than ever before. There is less intervention, low sulfites and stirred lees to protect the wines from oxygen and avoid using sulfites, which gives the wine a sense of creaminess, too.

Tasting Notes

Pale yellow. Very aromatic with white flowers and citrus fruits with exotic notes. Smooth, fruity and elegant with a supple palate.

Pairs well with sea food, grilled fish, smoked smalon, goat cheese (with the local crottin de Chavignol).

About the Wine

This Sauvignon comes mostly from vineyards in seven villages, with the three famous Sancerre Terroirs : Chalk, flint, Caillotes. Sauvignon grapes are harvested partly by machine and partly by hand. The pressing is only in pneumatic presses. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperature in order to keep all the fine aromas of Sauvignon. A perfect expression of an ideal Sancerre.

Winery Notes

Since its creation in 1900, Hubert Brochard has been committed to producing wines representative of the diversity of the Sancerre terroirs. It is this richness of the land, the plurality of styles and personalities, the meeting of cultures and know-how that allows one to (re)discover the subtleties of this appellation. The Brochard team is led by
esteemed winemaker Rodrigo Zamorano with a precise target: to showcase the unique individuality of Sancerre Terroirs.
