The grapes for this cuvée are from the domaine’s oldest vines, giving a dense concentrated wine, with powerful aromas of ripe citrus and tropical fruit. Twelve months on the lees in large, neutral oak foudres intensify rather than temper its exuberance. It’s fuller-bodied than most Sancerres, so makes a winning accompaniment to cheese soufflé. It also ages well, so enjoy now (summer 2018) and over the next five years.
