Origin

The Sancerre Les Monts Damnés is produced in the Sancerre appellation, located in the Loire Valley, France. The vineyard is situated on the steep, rocky slopes of the Monts Damnés site, known for its unique terroir composed primarily of limestone and flint soils.

Variety

This wine is made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, the signature variety of the Sancerre region, known for its aromatic intensity and crisp acidity.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested from the Monts Damnés vineyard, ensuring careful selection of the fruit. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh and mineral character of the wine. Aging is typically done on fine lees to enhance texture and complexity without overpowering the varietal purity.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections.
  • Aroma: Intense and complex bouquet featuring citrus fruits, white flowers, flint, and subtle mineral notes.
  • Palate: Crisp and vibrant acidity balanced by a pronounced minerality, with flavors of lemon zest, green apple, and a hint of chalky texture.
  • Finish: Long, refreshing, and elegant finish with lingering mineral nuances.

Food pairings

  • Seafood dishes such as oysters, scallops, and grilled fish.
  • Goat cheese, particularly the local Crottin de Chavignol.
  • Light poultry preparations with herbs.
  • Fresh salads with citrus or vinaigrette dressings.
