Description
France: Upper Loire
Crisp & Fresh White
Bone Dry - Light-Medium Body - Unoaked
ABV 13.0% - 75.0cl
In a Nutshell:
Excellent, crisp, fresh and minerally Sancerre from the latest generation of the Dezats.
The Lowdown:
For Arnaud & Stèphanie Dezat winemaking is in their blood having worked with their father and uncle at the highly regarded former André Dezat domaine they have gone their own way to great aplomb. They're fortunate to have excellent vineyard sites sitting on limestone and flinty soils from where they nurture top quality fruit. For this cuvée they give the wine a long temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel followed by 2 months ageing on fine lees to impart the required flavour charactersitics. This has classic fresh, crisp citrus, white flowers and softer fruit flavours backed up with a delicate minerality and well-balanced clean acidity.
The Producer:
Arnaud and Stéphanie Dezat are carrying on the family tradition at their eponymous domaine, having branched off from the legendary André Dezat estate. Alongside their cousin Firmin, they're one of two next-generation branches keeping the name alive in Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. They've recently built a sleek new winery just down the road from the old cellars, but the approach remains classic: precise, expressive Sauvignon Blanc made with the same attention to detail their father, uncle, and grandfather were known for. It's a modern set-up, but the roots run deep and the wines still speak with that unmistakable Loire clarity.
When to Drink:
Classic Sancerre: crisp, flinty and beautifully defined
