Joël et Sylvie Cirotte, owners of Domaine La Croix Saint-Laurent, have fashioned a terrific Sancerre that highlights the minerality of Sancerre rather than the fruitiness of Sauvignon Blanc. Delightfully chalky and bright, its charm and elegance appear in a long, sublime finish. The grape may be Sauvignon Blanc, but this wine is definitely Sancerre.
