L’Étincelle – Sauvignon Blanc – 2023
Sancerre AOP · Loire Valley · France 🇫🇷

Overview
A lively and textbook Sancerre showcasing the purity and finesse of Sauvignon Blanc grown on Loire Valley limestone soils. Clean, crisp and unmistakably mineral-driven.

Aromas & Flavors
Bright lemon peel, green apple, white grapefruit and subtle gooseberry, wrapped in flinty minerality and fresh herbs.

Mouthfeel
Zesty and refreshing with razor-clean acidity. Light, vibrant and precise, finishing with a chalky, mouthwatering snap.

Food Pairings
Perfect with goat cheese (especially Crottin de Chavignol), oysters, sushi, ceviche, grilled shrimp or simple salads with citrus dressing.

Verdict
A refreshing, no-nonsense Sancerre that nails the classic profile: citrusy, crisp, and mineral to its core. A fantastic everyday Loire pick.

Did You Know?
Sancerre’s signature minerality comes from its unique “terres blanches” and “caillottes” limestone soils, among the coolest Sauvignon Blanc terroirs in the world. — 6 months ago

First bottle I bought (at Tannin) after reading Wine Simple. Started mineraly and aromatic but not overly fruity. Pear notes after several days. — 2 years ago

Really very tasty. Lovely with a warm beef stew. Not too heavy and a good intro to Sancerre reds — 5 years ago

Charming Pinot-Noir that is a great pleasure reminiscent of the wines we taste in Sancerre, Menetou-Salon or Reuilly more than Burgundy. Simple but in good balance, with a cold extraction that brings out a maximum of fruit and variety notes. Here no eyeshadow, breeding hiding anything. It's gourmet, authentic at an affordable price. The PN is respected and delivers in a simple way, perfect light bodied wine. The only problem: the bottle empties very quickly. So to drink by two!

Charmant Pinot-Noir qui rappelle avec grand plaisir les vins qu’on goûte du côté de Sancerre, Menetou-Salon ou Reuilly plus que la Bourgogne. Simple mais au bel équilibre, avec une extraction à froid qui fait ressortir un maximum de fruit et de notes variétales. Ici pas de fard, d’élevage cachant quoi que ça soit. C’est gourmand, authentique à prix abordable. Le PN est respecté et se livre et de manière authentique en toute simplicité, parfait light bodied wine. Seul problème: la bouteille se vide très vite. À boire par deux donc! — 4 years ago
