WINE DESCRIPTION

Fernand Girard Sancerre La Garenne Blanc is a multi-generational family estate hailing from the tiny village of Chaudoux, located a few miles northwest of the town of Sancerre. The "La Garenne" cuvée comes predominantly from a 2.5 hectare vineyard of that name, a plot on a steep east-facing slope with a very rocky limestone soil. After a gentle pressing, the wines are transferred to stainless-steel vats for a temperature-controlled fermentation to retain the vibrancy of Sauvignon Blanc.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Fernand Girard Sancerre La Garenne Blanc reveals aromas of citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, along with hints of green apple and fresh herbs.The palate is crisp and lively, with zesty acidity that enhances the overall freshness of the wine. The flavors of citrus fruits continue on the palate, accompanied by subtle mineral notes that add complexity and depth. This wine showcases a medium body and a lean texture culminating in a refreshing, mineral-tinged finale.
