Description

David Sautereau's Sancerre is what you'd call a benchmark. This is Sancerre as it was meant to be.

David represents the tenth generation at the Sautereau family estate, located in Crézancy, just west of Sancerre. The estate comprises approximately 22 hectares of vineyards. Two-thirds are devoted to Sauvignon Blanc, the other third to Pinot Noir. The soils include gravel, slate, limestone with fossilized shells, and marl.



David's primary mission is to optimally express the beautiful Sancerre terroir. Therefore, he leaves nothing to chance. He combines centuries-old family traditions with modern winemaking techniques he mastered in countries including Switzerland, the United States, and Australia.

His beautiful Sancerre has everything you'd expect from a good Sancerre: an expressive aroma of green apple, boxwood, and flint, invigoratingly fresh acidity, a slender yet ripe flavor, and a lingering, chalk-dry finish. Very nice!

Drinking at

A fragrant, crisp, dry white wine to enjoy as an aperitif. Also excellent with grilled asparagus and bell peppers, a green salad with fish, steamed scallops, or soft (goat) cheeses.

Tasting note

A pale yellow wine with expressive aromas of Granny Smith, melon, boxwood, and flint. A sleek style with ripe stone fruit and invigorating acidity. The finish is lingering and chalk-dry.

Shelf life

Ready to drink immediately and easily kept for up to 5 years after harvest.
