Domaine Des Côtes Blanches Sancerre 2024.
Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Alcohol: 13% ABV
This 2024 Sancerre is a compelling biodynamic expression, combining crystalline freshness with impressive flavour depth and complexity. The nose reveals layers of ripe orchard fruit — golden apple and pear — intertwined with citrus zest, crushed limestone and delicate herbal nuances. Subtle notes of white blossom and flint add further dimension, creating an aromatic profile that is both refined and expressive.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied yet beautifully concentrated, with a richness that sets it apart from more linear examples of the appellation. The fruit core is generous and textured, supported by vibrant, stony acidity that provides lift and precision. Lees ageing contributes a gentle creaminess and mid-palate weight, amplifying the savoury mineral undertones without diminishing freshness.
The finish is long, layered and energetic, with lingering citrus and chalky minerality. Enjoy now for its vivid fruit and structural harmony, or cellar for 5–7 years to reveal further nuance. Superb with lobster, white fish, creamy poultry dishes or goat’s cheese. A richly complex and deeply satisfying Sancerre.
