2020 Sancerre Megalithe, La Perriere

A prestige Sancerre from La Perriere, made from Sauvignon Blanc selected from the oldest vines on limestone-rich soil. The grapes are hand-picked and gently pressed. The wine ferments and ages in large French oak foudres, adding structure and depth without overpowering the natural freshness of Sauvignon Blanc. Long lees contact and bottle development precede release. Straw yellow with golden tones. Aromas of ripe citrus, white peach, nuts, flint and discreet toasted oak. The palate is full, intense and mineral, with layers of citrus, pear and smoke, and a long, chalky finish.
