Sancerre 2010

The 2010 vintage in Sancerre stands as one of the historic pinnacles of Sauvignon Blanc in the Loire Valley. Benefiting from steady sunshine and cool nights throughout autumn, grapes achieved flawless phenolic maturity while preserving electric mineral energy. The wine presents a crystalline pale gold robe and a complex bouquet of grapefruit zest, noble boxwood, vineyard peach, and gunflint. The palate is remarkably tense, displaying a chiseled, dense, and deeply saline texture across flint and kimméridgian marl soils. Rated 4.5 out of 5 and deemed Divine, this 2010 is a gastronomic monument pairing divinely with blue lobster or mature Crottin de Chavignol.
