WINE DESCRIPTION
Langlois-Chateau Chateau de Fontaine-Audon is a distinguished Sancerre produced by the renowned Langlois-Chateau estate. Crafted from Sauvignon Blanc grapes sourced from flint-rich terroir, this wine epitomizes elegance and finesse. The vineyard practices controlled yields, ensuring optimal fruit concentration. Harvesting, a meticulous blend of manual and mechanical methods, occurs during the cool morning hours. After pneumatic pressing and juice selection, the wine undergoes maceration in small thermo-regulated stainless steel vats, followed by maturation on fine lees until bottling in spring. The result is a wine of exceptional character, boasting vibrant acidity, crisp minerality, and expressive citrus and herbal notes—a true embodiment of Sancerre's terroir and Langlois-Chateau's dedication to quality winemaking.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Langlois-Chateau Chateau de Fontaine-Audon is a remarkable wine that showcases the expertise and craftsmanship of the renowned Langlois-Chateau winery.On the nose, the Chateau de Fontaine-Audon offers a vibrant bouquet of citrus fruits, such as grapefruit and lemon, along with delicate floral notes of elderflower and acacia. These aromas are complemented by subtle hints of mineral and flint, adding complexity to the wine.
The palate is equally impressive, with a crisp and refreshing acidity that perfectly balances the wine's fruitiness. The citrus flavors continue to shine, accompanied by zesty notes of green apple and gooseberry. There is a lovely tension between the bright fruit and the mineral undertones, creating a harmonious and elegant profile.
The Chateau de Fontaine-Audon is a wine that truly captures the essence of the Sancerre terroir. It is a perfect companion for seafood dishes, particularly oysters, as well as fresh goat cheese. The wine's vibrant acidity and lively flavors make it a delightful choice for warm summer days or as an aperitif.
