Sancerre White

‘Tradition’ cuvées

Our Sancerre Blanc cuvée ‘Tra- dition’ is one of the benchmarks of Silex (flint) terroir wines.
It comes from various parcels located around the villages of Saint-Satur, Sancerre, Bannay, Ménétréol and Thauvenay. Florian demonstrates here the Silex (flint) terroir superiority! A cuvée with powerful citrusy and flinty aromas complemented by the legendary elegant acidity from the Silex (flint)!

This wine is available in France from 20,90 € at your preferred wine shop, or at our online shop Aux Trésors de Bacchus

93/100

'With fresh waves of grapefruit juice and lime zest washing over the tongue, this invigorating wine would be great with crudités or raw seafood to cleanse the palate and leave a granitic minerality to ground the finish.'

92/100

'Shows a limpid hue with glittering emerald streaks and aromas of kiwi fruit flesh, white peach skin, white pepper, ruby grapefruit, sugar snap pea, and wild basil. The palate has an enticing stony quality filled out with mineral and citrus character.'
