Description
Langlois Chateau de Thauvenay Sancerre Terroir Calcaire 2022
Details of production:
This 18 hectare vineyard surrounds one of the rare castles in Sancerre; Château de Thauvenay, which was first planted in 1819 by the Count of Montalivet. Facing the Loire, the vineyard is located on steep hills with very chalky ‘calcaire’ soils with some clay. The vines, a mix of young and old, usually yield around 55 hl/ ha which is picked by hand and machine. The grapes are then pressed delicately using a pneumatic press with selection of the best juice. The fermentation occurs in small thermo-regulated stainless steel vats and the wine is matured on the lees until bottling in April.
Tasting notes:
A very expressive nose of exotic fruits like pineapple, mango and grapefruit. On the palate this is a very fat and aromatic wine with a nice acidity to bring freshness.
How to serve:
Serve with smoked salmon, lobster, grilled fish but also as an aperitif and of course with dry goat cheese.
