2024 | Domaine Sautereau Sancerre Blanc | Loire | France

Tenth-generation Sancerre from a rising organic star — pure Loire Sauvignon Blanc off three classic soils.

David Sautereau is the tenth generation to farm his family's domaine in Crézancy, trained in Burgundy and Champagne and now converting the estate to organics. This Sancerre Blanc is 100% Sauvignon Blanc drawn from the region's three benchmark terroirs — caillottes for finesse, Kimméridgian marl for volume, Terres Blanches for power and length.

Grower Sancerre from a 10-generation family, farmed organically, is exactly the kind of bottle that beats the big brands. Precise, mineral, and vividly fruited → branded supermarket Sancerre costs about the same for far less soul → at $39.99 you're drinking real vigneron Loire.

Zesty citrus and ripe stone fruit with floral accents; supple mid-palate and lingering mirabelle. Translation: classic chalky Sancerre minerality wrapped around bright grapefruit and pear — built for goat cheese, smoked salmon, or a seafood fricassée.

Real grower Sancerre from a family ten generations deep, farmed the right way. Exactly the white to keep cold for oysters and warm evenings.
