"A beautiful cuvée imprinted with the flinty terroir, fruity, fresh and rich!"

This Sauvignon from limestone soil reveals an intense nose with a broad aromatic palette of floral, citrus, pear and fresh pepper notes. On the palate, the attack is straightforward, with lemony accents, followed by a chalky mid-palate ending on a hint of bitterness.

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))

About the domain :

First cousins Gaël and Marius Tabordet manage this 21-hectare estate in Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. The wines are vinified without the addition of sulfur, using indigenous yeasts, and the domaine is beginning its conversion to organic farming for the 2018 vintage. We tasted the whites this year, and they were a success. An address to follow.
