Sancerre

TASTING NOTES
Bright yellow colour, bouquet of white and yellow fruits with a judicious hint of orange and lime citrus. Well balanced on the palate, with undertones of mature fruitiness 

VINEYARDS 
Milli-Forêt grapes are sourced from along the Loire river, east of Bourges, from different 14 plots. 

TERROIR
Soils surrounding the villages of Sainte Gemme and Sury-en-Vaux. This gives us 50% Silex and 50% Limestone, the backbone to the complexity of our Sancerre. 

VARIETAL 
Sauvignon Blanc: 100% 

VITICULTURE 
We are constantly reviewing our approach to the vineyards and have been sustainable for many years. Grassing, gentle ploughing, enhancing biodiversity; yield control and de-leafing and de-budding all essential to the long term health of the vineyards. We also practice natural practises for pest control. 

WINEMAKING 
After a very light pressing, the grapes settle for around 36 hours. The fermentation starts totally naturally at a controlled temperature of 15-18°C. 

FOOD PAIRING
Sancerre is remarkably versatile; pairing with seafood, salads, and the region’s famed goat’s milk cheeses (Crottin). But this bottle can easily be enjoyed long before any food reaches the table!
