Clement & Florian Berthier Sancerre Blanc 2024 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Enjoy it now, or cellar for a few more years. No need to decant before serving. This white Sancerre wine offers an exquisite nose, walking a tightrope between vibrant and refined. On the nose, it begins with the grapefruit zest and orchard fruits, complemented by the delicate scent of white blossoms. These aromas are beautifully intertwined with a distinctive minerality, attributed to the flint and clay soils of the Sancerre region, which imparts a subtle smokiness that adds depth and complexity. Berthier is a renowned name in the Loire Valley, representing five generations of winemaking heritage. Clément and Florian Berthier took over the family estate in 2012. Clément focuses on the business operations and the cellar itself, ensuring that each wine reflects the unique terroir of Sancerre. Florian is dedicated to the land, utilising generations of knowledge to ensure the health and productivity of the vineyards. On the palate, the Sancerre Blanc is expansive and silky, with a well-balanced freshness. The wine's crisp acidity is perfectly integrated with the flavour profile, showcasing flavours of nettle and citrus, complemented by the tartness of gooseberry. This mineral-driven wine is aromatic and elegant and is certain to make a lasting impression on any Sauvignon Blanc lovers. It will pair beautifully with pork, shellfish, and vegetarian dishes, and is a classic companion to goat's milk cheese.
