Domaine Sautereau Sancerre Blanc 2024

Discover the Pure, Soulful Expression of Terroir-Driven Sauvignon Blanc
2024 Domaine Sautereau Sancerre Blanc, a masterclass in elegance and precision hailing from the historic village of Crézancy. Crafted by tenth-generation winemaker David Sautereau, this benchmark white wine blends classic Loire traditions with meticulous modern precision.
 
Representing the pinnacle of a multi-year transition, the 2024 vintage proudly marks the estate's official shift to certified organic viticulture.

Unlike mass-produced commercial Sancerre, this authentic grower-vigneron bottling achieves exceptional depth by marrying grapes from the region’s three legendary soil profiles:

Caillottes (Chalky Pebbles): Imparts vibrant finesse and structural energy.
Kimmeridgian Marl: Adds a velvety, expansive texture and mid-palate volume.
Terres Blanches (White Soils): Fuses marine fossil-rich limestone to provide driving power, complex minerality, and excellent length.

Tasting Notes
Visual: Bright, shimmering pale straw with delicate green reflections.
Aroma: An open, highly expressive bouquet highlighting crisp grapefruit, zesty lime, elderflower, and ripe melon.
Palate: Crisp and wonderfully focused. Bright apple and citrus flavors seamlessly blend with lush stone fruits and a classic, flinty mineral edge.
Finish: Exceedingly clean, vibrant, and lingering, rounded out by a signature chalky, saline freshness.

Food Pairings
The ultimate gastronomic companion. It pairs flawlessly with fresh goat’s cheese (such as the regional Crottin de Chavignol), fresh oysters, pan-fried sea bream in butter sauce, smoked salmon, or crisp spring asparagus salad.
 
Domaine Sautereau Sancerre Rouge 2024
An Elegant, Silk-Textured Expression of Cool-Climate Pinot Noir

Break away from the ordinary with the 2024 Domaine Sautereau Sancerre Rouge, an exceptional 100% Pinot Noir that beautifully challenges the white-centric stereotype of the Upper Loire. Sourced from a dedicated one-third of the estate’s 22 hectares, this wine thrives on the iron-rich Terres Rouges (red soils) and stony limestone plots of Crézancy. The result is a vibrant, artisanal red that favors delicate perfumes, bright fruit transparency, and graceful structure over heavy extraction.
 
Tasting Notes
Visual: Sparkling, light ruby red with clear brilliant highlights.
Aroma: A delicate, perfumed nose dominated by wild cherries, ripe raspberries, and soft violet, punctuated by subtle earthy graphite and kitchen spice.
Palate: Highly approachable, fresh, and juicy. It attacks with a bright burst of red currant and tart cherry flavors, perfectly framed by beautifully mature, silky tannins.
Finish: Sophisticated, soft, and persistent, closing on a light, finely integrated toasty and spicy finish.

Food Pairings
This remarkably versatile red shines when served with a light chill (around 14°C). Enjoy it alongside roasted poultry, mushroom risotto, seared tuna steaks, grilled salmon, or a savory herb-crusted goat cheese tart.
