Domaine Merlin-Cherrier Sancerre

Thierry Merlin-Cherrier owns 11 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc in the village of Bue, one of the principal hamlets surrounding the old walled town of Sancerre. These soils have a high chalk content and as a result this Sancerre is distinguished by its perfume of citrus and minerals. A pale-yellow colour on appearance, with aromas of lemon and tangerine which, with some aeration, can open up into more tropical and coulis characters.

The palate reflects similar characters with chalky richness from the lees ageing and long zesty and mineral finish. True finesse and intensity for an elegant wine. Perfect with seafood, especially scallops and shellfish but also goat's milk cheese.
