👁 In the Glass:
Pale gold with green reflections, shimmering with purity and promise.
👃 On the Nose:
Delicate yet complex aromas of citrus blossom, white peach and chalky minerality. Hints of green apple and subtle herbs unfold with graceful restraint.
👅 On the Palate:
Medium-bodied and impeccably balanced. A wave of mouth-watering fruit—think crisp pear, lemon zest, and gooseberry—cascades across the palate, wrapped in fine minerality. The finish is electric, lifted and long, with a racy freshness and a silken texture that lingers.
🍽 Food Pairing:
A sublime match with shellfish, ceviche, grilled seabass, or creamy goat cheese. Also excellent with herbed chicken or garden-fresh salads.
⏳ Enjoyment Window:
Delicious now, especially with a short decant, but will evolve beautifully over the next 4–6 years.
✨ Why You’ll Love It:
‘Sauvage’ doesn’t shout—it seduces. Crafted with wild fermentation and no additions, it’s an honest reflection of Sancerre’s raw beauty, made with finesse and intention. A perfect white for lovers of purity, poise, and precision.
