Description
Did you know that Sancerre is always 100% Sauvignon Blanc?
Sancerre is France's and the world's most famous Sauvignon Blanc, and rightly so, it is classic, stylish and delicious. This premium Sauvignon Lovers wine box is ideal for those who love all things Sauvignon Blanc and Sancerre.
Pouilly Fume is the neighbouring wine region to Sancerre and often referred to as its little sister, as it is also produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Our Premium Sauvignon Lovers Box contains 2 of each of the following:
2 x Mahi, Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand 2023
This isn't any ordinary Sauvignon Blanc. It is produced as a Sauvignon for wine lovers with a focus on the quality of the texture, mouthfeel and ability to pair well with food. It has New Zealand's trademark vibrant citrus fruit profile, layered with a masterclass in depth and elegance.
2 x Domaine Sautereau, Sancerre, Loire
This is a benchmark for elegance and precision. Aromas of candied citrus, white stone fruit, and subtle tropical notes lead to a refined palate, balancing crisp vibrancy with lees-aged depth. A saline minerality and dynamic finish enhance its complexity, pairing beautifully with seafood or goat cheese. Crafted in Crézancy, near Sancerre town, David represents the tenth generation of his family to make wine on the famed "terres blanches" soils, rich in limestone and marine fossils. Combining tradition and innovation, including ageing in egg-shaped vats, David's wines reflect the true character of Sancerre’s terroir.
2 x Pouilly Fume, Domaine Corty 'Intro', Loire
Sancerre and Pouilly Fume are neighbours and produce similar wines, with Pouilly Fume often coming in at a better price point and offering excellent value. Vinified with natural yeasts in stainless steel and aged on the fine lees until bottling, the 2020 Intro opens pure and subtle on the nose that is nonetheless intense and even quite complex for an introductory wine and reminiscent of crushed (flint) stones and gravels as well as fresh white and green fruits. Perfectly round and elegant on the palate, this is an intense, immediately attractive, medium to full-bodied Pouilly with a good mineral finish and fruity charm.
