Alain Gueneau Sancerre la Guiberte 2017
Sancerre, Upper Loire, Loire, FranceFrom 11 hectares of steep slopes on mainly clay-limestone soil, this fresh Sancerre is the mission of father Alain and daughter Elisa. The goal is simple: classic artisanal Sancerre. This opens with white flowers flecked with stonefruit. The attack is lively and the flavours persistent, with robust mineral undertones. It is a terrific apéritif wine, and it pairs well with almost any seafood, but the famous match courtesy of the winery is the regional goat cheese Crottin de Chavignol.Tasted: 11 October 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $39.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
