2023 Domaine Roger Neveu Sancerre
Loire Valley, France
~~~~~~~~~~~
Counting themselves among the 318 residents of the hamlet of Verdigny, the Neveu family can trace their roots in this town back to the 12th century. Just one kilometer from the epicenter of Sancerre enthusiasm, Chavignol, their south-facing Embouffants vineyard fuels the personality of this bottling. Pitched at gradients as high as 40 to 50 degrees, this quite dangerous to farm property hosts dry-farmed vines digging deep through the shallow rocky topsoil into limestone.

The resulting wine is everything we love about Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Complete and structured, it shines with notes of gooseberry, white currant, lemongrass, wet stones, yellow bell pepper, grapefruit oil, white asparagus, lime sorbet, guava, and mango essence. The structure offers classic Sancerre tension, and the finish goes on for a full minute, resonating with hints of salt and chalk.

Spring is here, and this is a slam-dunk Sancerre with a classic profile that will have lovers of this famous Loire Valley region completely enamored!
