Domaine La Clef du Recit "La Chene Fourchu" Sancerre 2017
Reminding us of some of the magical $100 wines of famed Loire grower Didier Dagueneau, the 2017 Le Chene Fourchu is one of the most distinctive Sancerres we have ever featured!

(1/2020) Anthony Girard crafts this special wine from a one hectare parcel of 45-year-old vines growing in pure limestone soils. Following fermentation, he ages half of the wine in concrete amphora and half in wood barrels, some of which are new. The use of oak, which is rather unusual for the region, provides a creamy mouthfeel, rich texture and flavors of vanilla and spice that sit atop a classic Sancerre frame of chalky minerality, high-toned citrus fruit and lively, refreshing acidity. Sancerre drinkers will appreciate the purity of the core qualities of this wood-scented, velvety-textured bottling. There's something there too for those who love upper-tier white Bordeaux and even white Burgundy. This complex and delicious wine is outstanding now, and will continue to improve over the next 3-5 years.

Thomas Labaille "Les Monts Damnes" Sancerre 2018
92+
Our Score
(6/2020) Labaille produces classic, authentic, appellation defining bottles of Sauvignon Blanc from the great region of Sancerre. This particular bottling comes from the famed single vineyard site "Monts Damnes". Weighty and mouth filling, this complex white discretely features electric acidity and contemplative minerals. Ripe and fleshy, with citrus, orchard and tropical notes. Long, complex, ageworthy, and in need of oxygen in opened young, this is what great warm-vintage Sancerre is all about, and it's less expensive than other "famed" producers. Excellent.

Alphonse Mellot "La Moussiere" Sancerre 2018
Hand-harvested, biodynamically-farmed Sancerre sourced from a single site very rich in unique Kimmeridgien chalk soils. Mellot is one of Sancerre's great producers, and La Moussiere offers a tremendous opportunity to dip your toe into their waters.

(6/2020) This 2018 Sancerre is lovely and expressive, providing classic Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc zest and minerality. Dry, with tasty citrus, orchard and even tropical fruit notes. The wine is medium-plus in body with a creamy texture and high acidity. Long, and very fresh, this is a Sancerre worth your attention!

Domaine Fernand Girard "La Garenne" Sancerre 2018
90+
Our Score
(6/2020) Domaine Girard is run by Fernand and Monique Girard and their son Alain. As a small grower, they sell most of their fruit, bottling just one wine from a single vineyard called "La Garenne". The site is a steep 2.5-hectare vineyard with an east-facing slope and a very rocky limestone soil. The chalky soil gives a tense and grippy minerality, which supports the juicy green apple, lemon and white peach fruit flavors. Tthis Sauvignon Blanc gives very fine balance, classic Sancerre pleasure and an extra level of nuanced complexity. Well done.
