Domaine du Pré Semelé Mainbré 2025 Sancerre

Mainbré is a white Sancerre from Domaine du Pré Semelé, made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc grown on clay-limestone soils of white earth and small stones. The grapes are picked by hand and given a long, gentle press of about three and a half hours. The must settles cold for 48 hours, then ferments slowly at 16 to 18 degrees in stainless steel and enamelled tanks. The wine is aged on fine lees with stirring, which adds volume while keeping freshness. The nose is clearly Sauvignon, with blackcurrant bud, citrus and yellow fruit. The palate is ample and supple, with fruit carried by lively freshness and a mineral precision. The finish is fresh, balanced and persistent.
