Chateau de Sancerre

2022 Sancerre ‘Terre de Silex’, Chateau de Sancerre

Loire, FranceVintage: 2022

A fresh, invigorating and mineral expression of Sancerre from the famous Silex soils, this stunning cuvée shows beautiful structure and longevity.

The 55-hectare estate comprises 93 different plots over the five villages of Thauvenay, Ménétréol, Bué, Sancerre and Crézancy. This combination offers the possibility to select from the best plots from a range of terroirs with distinct mesoclimates, resulting in complexity in the wine. The region’s rolling hills and semi-continental climate produce beautifully structured Sauvignon Blancs that are crisp and fresh, evoking aromas of ripe gooseberries, smoke and gunflint notes. The grapes for this cuvée come from two plots rich in clay and with a high flint content, known as Silex. Silex is a type of sedimentary soil which is rich in flint; renowned for imbuing the wines with a distinctive flinty, mineral character.

Description

Château de Sancerre is one of the rare French wine estates that bears the name of its appellation. The Château itself dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was established by Louis de Sancerre in the 14th century. Since then, the vineyards have always existed alongside. The estate is situated on the left bank of the Loire and overlooks a unique terroir of four distinctive soil types, across its 55-hectare vineyard. The entire vineyard has obtained the sustainable certification HVE Level 3 which officially recognises the environmental performance of winegrowers, including biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategies, managed fertiliser use and water resource management. Since 2020, the estate has been cultivated using organic practices.

The grapes were sorted and gently pressed. Fermentation of the must took place with carefully selected neutral yeasts to allow the characteristics of the terroir to be revealed. The wine was aged for 12 months in stainless steel to preserve the purity of the fruit.
