What makes good Sancerre so special? The best ones are, like this one, complex, crystalline, structured and long on the palate. The region’s limestone soils certainly play a role, as does the fruit, in this case from Domaine Denizot’s organically farmed Sauvignon Blanc vineyards. And of course superb winemaking is critical. At Domaine Denizot, Thibault Denizot is the eighth generation of his family to make wine here.
