From one of the Loire Valley’s most respected estates, this 2025 Sancerre Blanc from Domaine de la Garenne is a benchmark expression of what makes this appellation so enduringly beloved. The nose is classic and precise — vibrant citrus, white gooseberry, and a delicate floral lift, underpinned by that unmistakable flinty, gunflint minerality that only the silex and Kimmeridgian limestone soils of Sancerre can deliver. On the palate it’s focused and elegant, with a beautifully taut acidity, a clean, mineral-driven mid-palate, and a long, refreshing finish. The kind of Sancerre that reminds you exactly why it became a benchmark in the first place.
