Pale straw in color, this Sauvignon Blanc opens with bright aromas of lemon zest, grapefruit, and green apple, complemented by fragrant white flowers and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, it is crisp and lively, offering juicy citrus and orchard fruit flavors framed by refreshing acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone. Hints of flint and wet stone add focus and complexity through the mid-palate. The wine strikes a lovely balance between vibrancy and depth, with clean fruit expression throughout. The finish is long, refreshing, and beautifully precise.
Domaine Girault is an esteemed family-owned estate in Bué, central Sancerre, with a long lineage of vine growing and winemaking that emphasizes terroir and balance. Their wines reflect the classic, elegant style of Sancerre — bright, mineral, and expressive — showcasing the appellation’s limestone and clay-limestone soils with pure varietal character.
Sauvignon Blanc grapes are harvested from sustainably farmed vineyards across varied soils — including clay-limestone and flinty parcels — within the Sancerre appellation, contributing to aromatic intensity and minerality. Fermentation is conducted in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve freshness, purity, and vibrant natural acidity. The winemaking philosophy centers on expressing terroir and brightness rather than oak influence, resulting in an elegant and food-friendly profile.
This Sancerre Blanc pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, clams, and grilled shrimp. It also complements goat cheese (a regional classic), salads with citrus vinaigrette, and herb-accented vegetable dishes. Its crisp acidity and mineral lift make it an ideal aperitif and versatile by-the-glass option for refined white wine lists.
