2023 Domaine Jean-Paul Balland Sancerre

The Domaine Jean-Paul Balland Sancerre is a true reflection of the artistry and heritage behind the very best of the Loire Valley’s terroir.

This 100% Sauvignon Blanc is a harmonious blend of nature’s gifts and skilled winemaking, resulting in a wine that is both refined and expressive. The grapes are gently pressed in pneumatic presses, extracting only the finest juice. Fermentation follows at a controlled pace, with natural yeasts and careful batonnage, allowing the wine to rest on fine lees for as long as possible, enhancing its complexity. The result is a wine that truly captures the essence of its limestone and clay-rich soils.

This Sancerre is a beautifully balanced wine, full of sun-kissed flavours and aromatic charm, perfect for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Tasting Note: On the nose, it offers a rich and vibrant bouquet, with bright citrus notes and hints of peach blossom. As it opens up, the aromas deepen, revealing layers of white peach, pink grapefruit, and a touch of honeyed sweetness. The palate is a delightful mix of juicy grapefruit, ripe peach, and a touch of quince, all beautifully balanced by an elegant minerality. The finish is long and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of fresh almonds.
