Domaine Michel Girard Sancerre 2025 Description
On the nose, this Sancerre reveals layers of white peach and green apple, complemented by delicate white flowers and a subtle herbaceous character with hints of fresh-cut grass and nettle.
The palate opens with vibrant citrus - lemon zest and grapefruit - balanced by ripe, crisp acidity that drives the wine forward with intensity. Mineral notes emerge mid-palate, reflecting the terroir's distinctive flinty character and chalky undertones, building toward a clean, linear finish. Stone fruit nuances develop as the wine opens, adding complexity alongside subtle tropical notes of passion fruit.
The wine maintains excellent tension throughout, with the acidity providing structure and freshness that lingers on the aftertaste, leaving a persistent saline minerality.
A classic expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley, showcasing elegance, precision, and the characteristic gunflint minerality that defines Sancerre's finest examples.
The wine comes from Verdigny in the heart of goats cheese country so is ideal with a soft, tangy 'crottin'. Also great with delicate flat fish in a caper sauce.
