2021 Domaine Curot Sancerre

Aromas of limes and lemons, crushed oyster shells, dash of white pepper. Refined, clean, vibrant. PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: As an aperitif; with charcuterie and goat’s cheese; fresh seafood!
Vineyards in Vinon, southeast of Sancerre, are located on the region’s rolling hills, alternating with forest and cereal production. Soils are mostly a combination of clay and limestone, with flint. AGE OF VINES: 30 years, on average. Fermented on selected yeasts in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. Aged in tank, with regular lees stirring, for five months.

An expressive, lively Sancerre Blanc that captures everything we love about Sauvignon Blanc from this historic region in the Loire Valley! Limes and lemons, crushed oyster shells, a dash of white pepper, plenty of ripe yet balanced white fruit. Very fine.

The team at Domaine Curot cares for vines sustainably, avoiding treatments and adhering to organic practices as much as possible. Beneficial herbs are planted between vine rows to help prevent erosion and contribute needed nutrients to the soils.
The vineyards in Vinon, southeast of Sancerre, are located on the region’s rolling hills, alternating with forest and fields of cereal. Soils are mostly a combination of clay and limestone, with flint.
Grapes are sorted both in the fields and the cellar, pressed then fermented on selected yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and aged on fine lees. The estate follows the lunar calendar to determine optimal times to move or bottle the wines. No sulfur is adding during vinification, and only a very small amount at bottling. Wines are lightly filtered.
