Technical sheet written by the domaine :

Grape variety
100% Sauvignon blanc

Terroir
The vines come from a plot of old vines planted on clay-limestone soils. Les Chasseignes grow on a slope in the village of Sury-en-Vaux.

Vinification
Upon arrival of the harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and the obtained juice is settled for about 36 hours. The alcoholic fermentation begins naturally under temperature control (15-18°C).

Location
Located on the banks of the Loire, east of Bourges, the Sancerre vineyard extends over 2770 hectares.

Aging
The wine is then aged for 8 to 10 months on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks to allow the wine to rest. Bottling is done without filtration or fining.

Serving
Serve between 8 and 10°C
Best enjoyed within 5-7 years.

Food and wine pairing
This white Sancerre pairs very well with gratins as well as shellfish such as scallops with hollandaise sauce, prawns, and lobster. Its favorite partner: Crottin de Chavignol.

Tasting
With a pale gold color and golden reflections, "les Chasseignes" opens with a nose of rich and complex aromas revealing notes of white and yellow fruits such as nectarine, apricot, and pear.
On the palate, the initial expressions are tender, then a lovely freshness will remind you of the signature of this very special terroir.
