Domaine Berthier Coteaux du Giennois dry white 2024

Technical sheet written by the domaine

Grape variety
100% Sauvignon Blanc

Terroir
The vines are planted along the Loire, with 50% on the flint soils of Saint Père, 30% on the limestone soils, and 20% on the clay soils of the village of Pougny. These very different plots contribute great complexity to our wines.

Winemaking
As soon as the harvest arrives, the grapes are gently pressed and the resulting juice is settled for about 36 hours. The alcoholic fermentation begins naturally under temperature control (15-18°C).

Situation
Located between Gien and Cosne-sur-Loire, this 191-hectare vineyard benefits from a temperate climate thanks to the Loire, with a continental influence from the East. It is planted on the slopes of the Loire, extensions of the geological formations of Sancerrois and Pouilly. Coteaux du Giennois is a small and recent appellation, with archaeological evidence of vines dating back to the 2nd century. It is experiencing significant growth with authentic wines that reveal the uniqueness of their terroir.

Breeding
The wine is then aged for a few months on its fine lees until bottling, which takes place in the spring.

Service
Serve between 8 and 10°C
To drink within 2-3 years.

Food and wine pairings
The most pleasant company to discover this wine:
At the aperitif with the famous Crottin de Chavignol.
A table, shells, fish in sauce, and other crustaceans are its best allies.


Tasting
With a pale golden-yellow robe, this Coteaux du Giennois white wine opens with a distinctive nose combining white flowers, citrus, and subtle exotic fruits (grapefruit, passion fruit).
On the palate, the attack is smooth and tender, extended by a refreshing liveliness that balances the sensation of sweetness. The aromas are well-present.
