Sancerre Blanc AOC - Domaine Michel Thomas

In the glass, the Sancerre Blanc from Domaine Michel Thomas offers a bright pale yellow color. The bouquet of this white wine from the Val de Loire seduces with nuances of grapefruit, pomelo, kumquat and pink grapefruit. If we trace the aromatics further, lovage, Mediterranean herbs and green peppers are added.

On the palate, Domaine Michel Thomas' Sancerre Blanc starts off pleasantly aromatic, fruit-driven and balanced. The final of this youthful white wine from the wine-growing region of the Val de Loire, more precisely from Sancerre, finally thrills with considerable reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets of the soils dominated by volcanic rock and limestone.

Vinification of the Domaine Michel Thomas Sancerre Blanc

The basis for the balanced Sancerre Blanc from the Val de Loire are grapes from the grape variety Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Val de Loire. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of flint, limestone and volcanic rock. When perfect physiological ripeness is assured, the grapes for Sancerre Blanc are harvested exclusively by hand, without the help of coarse and less selective grape harvesters. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
