CHATEAU DE SANCERRE CUVEE DU CONNETABLE BLANC
Loire-Atlantique

ORCHIDEES MAISONS DE VIN

Description


A tribute to Louis de Sancerre

Louis de Sancerre is one of the great men of France’s history: he was at once a companion in arms of Du Guesclin and a friend of King Charles V. In recognition of his merit and talent, he was appointed Marshal of France in 1368 and then Constable (i.e. Connétable) in 1397. This brand pays tribute to this emblematic figure of the town of Sancerre. It boasts a strong personality, along the lines of the Constable: lively, frank, refined and complex.

Grape variety: 100% Sauvignon blanc
Soils/Terroirs: Parcel selection of the estate’s old vines, well balanced with very good exposure on a terroir boasting flint-stone and chalky-clay soils.
Winemaking features: The best parcels of the Château de Sancerre are selected to offer a fresh and opulent wine. The juice is chosen according to criteria of freshness, fruit and complexity and then cleared by settling in order to obtain a lot of finesse and vivacity. Then, they are put in 400L oak barrels for the fermentation. These barrels are mostly made of local wood (less than 100km away).
Maturing period: Aged in oak barrels for 12 months for 85% of the volume and in stainless steel tanks for 15%.
Residual sugar: >0,5 g/L
Alcohol content: 12,5% vol.
