Sancerre 2023 Château de Thauvenay Terres Blanches 6x75cl

Another estate now owned by the Bollinger family this is a truly elegant Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire.

It really is a pity that the grape variety is not mentioned on the label otherwise I am certain that these wonderful Sancerres would be more popular in the UK.

Brochard's Terres Blanches Sancerre comes from hand-harvested vines on clay-limestone soils, aged on lees for over four months with 100% maturation in stainless-steel tanks. Annual production is around 120,000 bottles. Despite its modest 12.5% alcohol, this has more of a New World feel with a riper, richer texture on the palate. Less floral, plenty of focus and acidity to keep the palate fresh.
