Chateau du Nozay is a majestic castle located on a beautiful 17th century property. Today, 15 hectares of exquisite Sauvignon Blanc vines surround the castle. This is an isolated and preserved environment that results in sublime Sancerre.
Philippe de Benoist, owner of Domaine du Nozay, has a rather famous brother-in-law, one Aubert de Villaine, co-owner of the legendary Burgundy property Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.
The wine itself is bright and intense, dressed with golde n highlights distilling elegant and discrete aromas of citrus (pink grapefruit, lychee and lemon) but mostly yellow peach. An ideal acidity carried by a beautifully structured frame, its refreshing notes of pear in syrup, give it a certain pleasure to the palate.
This is the genuine article! If consuming today, please decant first. However, don’t underestimate Sancerre’s considerable capacity for improvement in the cellar. This is one of those that you could hide a few bottles of in the back of your cellar for 4-5 years,.
