Domaine Gueneau Sancerre Les Griottes
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc
Bottle Size: 750 mL
Region: France
Light White Wines
They started off with small beginnings and have grown over the times to meet the ever growing demand for world class Sancerre. They are now farming 10 Ha (24 acres) of Sauvignon Blanc in the little region of Sancerre, 125 miles south of Paris. The Clos Chartier comes from a 17 acre parcel which is planted on the typical clay and flint soils found within the region. Using traditional methods the vinification takes place using native yeasts and is aged in stainless steel vats and left on its lees to bring out the natural aromatics and to add texture and body. The wine has a pale yellow color and aromatis of tropical fruits with subtle hints of flinty minerality.
Staff Review:
Crisp and fragrant with a wonderful citrus and mineral aromas and clean acidity. Try with a creamy goat cheese! -Liz
