The left bank of the Vienne: On this narrow strip of the former bed of the Vienne, therefore on alluvial soils, twelve hectares of vines planted between 1969 and today are divided between the communes of Anché and Sazilly.
It is obtained by bleeding (removal of a certain quantity of juice) from the different cuvées before the colouring of the must becomes too pronounced.
It ferments very slowly in stainless steel vats at low temperature (15° to 17°C) to preserve all the aromas, an essential character sought after for this style of wine. Malolactic fermentation is not desired: the wine must keep all its freshness.

The Sancerre rouge presents itself expressively and excitingly in the nose, as first one perceives clear incense notes, followed by the smell of dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, juniper berry and clove. Floral scents like ivy, nettle and elderflower are also detectable. With the necessary oxygen contact, fine fruit aromas of cherry, cassis and wild raspberry join in, adding a feminine and fruity touch to its cool, distinctive and fresh attack.
Animating and refreshing, it presents itself on the tongue. Clear mineral notes, a fine herbal spice and a stimulating acidity and a moderate alcohol determine the taste picture. A red wine, which harmonizes slightly chilled excellently with aromatic dishes and fish.

On the palate the Guigne-Chèvres a tightly woven and tense web of bright citrus aromas, herbs and rocky notes, lime zest and white pepper. The acidity is beguilingly present, demanding and punchy, the minerality vibrant, the stoniness and saltiness additionally lively, mouthwatering and delicious. Thereby the Sancerre currently still quite shy and will need a few more years to fully develop. He will definitely need a decade, maybe even a decade and a half.

Comparing the 2019 Sancerre Chambrates with his neighbor, the Sancerre Le Paradiswhich comes from a similar, but not the same terroir, the Chambrates a little more yellow-fruited than the more green to light yellow-fruited Le Paradis, just as if a few limes had been taken away and replaced by kumquats and the green apples by yellow ones and maybe even a few slices of apricot. But at the same time also remains the Chambrates on the energetic, pure looking and straight Page.
On the palate, this impression continues seamlessly. The Chambrates is an immensely elegant, delicate and yet pure and demanding Sancerre with pressure and vitality, freshness and deep minerality. Notes of cassis and gooseberry show up here and are interwoven with citrus notes, salt and crisp fresh stone fruit. The Chambrates vibrates with tension, but at the same time seems strong and deep, long and persistent, as sinewy as a long-distance runner. One can easily trust him with this endurance for the next decade.

The 2019 Sancerre Le Paradis presents itself as exceedingly fresh, straighter. The Sauvignon Blanc is bright and already powerful on the nose. Beside many citric notes from lime over lemon to grapefruit a breath of flint and smoke shows up, but only as a coating, not as a formative element. In addition, there are chalky-chalky notes, a little green apple and herbs.
What one can only guess at in the fragrance becomes obvious on the palate. It is the pure power and intensity of this very mineral, purist, punchy and cool. Sancerre. The Le Paradis appears pure, bright and resonant on the palate. At the same time, the energy is bubbling and the Sauvignon Blanc seems as clear as a mountain stream. Besides the citric fruit, there are iodine-salty notes, which of course provides additional drinking flow. Only on the palate a little bit of cassis and elderberry becomes recognizable, but this remains very fine as well as moderate and is offset with a very slight sweetness. The Le Paradis pushes forward unflinchingly and on and on into the long, straight Finals.

Les Romains is a flint terroir located in the eastern part of Sancerre. Here the soils have a strong resemblance to the terroir across the Loire river in Pouilly-Fumé. There is a definite smoky and flinty quality to the wine that is backed with a piquant and delicate citrus fruitiness reminiscent of grapefruit.
