Domaine du Nozay
Domaine
The famous terroir of Sancerre is called “Terres Blanches” (white lands). The potential for self-defense is restored to the terroir and the vine. The way in which the vines are pruned, disbudded, and trained is with the goal of promoting a micro-climate conducive to the good health of the vine. The soil is maintained for the greater good of the biomass and the vine.

A golden yellow color, very bright that will allow the dazzling of our palate and will release all its length. On the nose, white flowers and sweet citrus fruit are raised very slightly by the airy and pure side of the jar and on the palate, we find an explosion of flavors of pear, mango, lychee marking a concentration of Sauvignon Blanc, and balanced acidity. It is a gourmet and rich wine.

"An intriguing version, in a good way, with a mix of preserved lemon rind, apple and honeyed notes rendered in a light, lifted style. Cool stone and chive elements take over the palate alongside oyster shell brininess. The smoky, zesty finish reveals spices, nuttiness and smoke."
