Description
Domaine Patrice Moreux Sancerre 2019
100% Sauvignon Blanc. The fruit comes from 30-years-old vines in the terroirs of Chavignol and Crézancy, which have a limestone clay soil composition. The blend of these two terroirs help to give this Sancerre its marvellous balance. Limited intervention viticultural practice. Use of organic fertilizers only when necessary.
After a careful selection, the fruit goes through gentle pneumatic pressing for 2.5 hours. Spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts from the grapes for 8 weeks in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation proceeds for about 80% of the cuvee as the Sancerre ages on lees in concrete tanks over 5 months. The wine is racked off its lees and fined with bentonite clay. A light filtration is done 28 days after fining, since the lunar cycle guides the vinification process.
Ageing potential: 5–8 years
We love ourselves a good Sauvignon Blanc but adore unusual whites made with indigenous grapes too! Check out Baia’s Wine Krakhuna White 2020.
