2016 Dominique Roger Chêne Marchand Sancerre Blanc, Loire Valley

Coming from the calcareous terroir of Bué the full-bodied 2016 Sancerre Chêne Marchand from the Roger family estate is  a real classic with gooseberries, citrus fruit, carambola, elderflower, jasmine and a hint of black currant on the nose and a refreshingly fruity, grippy and mineral structure on the palate.This is well-balanced and elegant Sancerre you can serve as an aperitif or with any kind of seafood and white pork. Good length. Drink now or in the next two or three years.
