This Sancerre leans into being fulsome. Slightly gold in color, the wine has an aromatic nose of golden apple, orange marmalade, Bosc pear and dried white blossom petal. The wine is slightly creamy in texture with a combination of ripe and tart fruit on the palate.

Fruity and straightforward with green apples, sliced pears and warm herbs on the nose. Medium body with fresh acidity. Fruity and refreshing with a clean finish

Winemaker Notes

Pale green-yellow color. Intense vegetal and citrus aromas on the nose. An unctuous, yet powerful, palate. The intense gooseberry flavors are complimented by a long lasting finale.
