Sancerre La Gravelière 2019 6x75cl

Sancerre
  • 75cl bottle

A powerful nose with floral and fruity aromas of passionfruit and orange. There is an elegant balance between freshness and structure.

Vineyards

The grapes are grown on predominantly siliceous soils. All vineyard processes are carried out in an environmentally friendly manner, adapted to each terroir.

Vintage

The 2019 was overall a good vintage in Central Loire, despite the frost episodes in early spring. The summer was very hot, with the heat stress impacting the overall yields but the remaining fruit quality was outstanding. Despite the warm season, the Sauvignon Blanc retained its naturally high acidity, yielding balanced and harmonious wines.

Winemaking

Following on from cold static settling, the fermentation takes place at low temperatures in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks.

Enjoy with:

  • Grilled and Roasted White Meats
  • Fish/Shellfish
  • Salads and Picnics
  • Mild Creamy Cheeses
This wine is a delicate counterpart to seafood, crustaceans, fish and goat’s cheese, especially the famous local Crottin de Chavignol.
