WINE DESCRIPTION
Jean-Paul Balland Sancerre Blanc is a premium white wine produced by the renowned winemaker Jean-Paul Balland in the Sancerre appellation of the Loire Valley in France. The wine is made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in the region's unique terroir, which features limestone and clay soils and a cool climate. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's fresh and vibrant character. The resulting wine is crisp, elegant, and aromatic, with notes of citrus, green apple, and mineral. It is a perfect match for seafood, salads, and light dishes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Jean-Paul Balland Sancerre Blanc offers a complex and vibrant nose of citrus, white peach, and fresh herbs.On the palate, the flavors are even more intense, with a perfect balance of vibrant acidity and round fruit flavors. It displays a mineral-driven finish with a hint of flint and a lingering hint of honey. Enjoyable on its own or with grilled seafood dishes.
