La Poussie Sancerre 2019

This grows at Baron Patrick de Ladoucette’s historic vineyard in Sancerre, a steep amphitheater of clay and limestone with alluvial soils at the base. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, this has complex layers of flavor, building its roundness out of ripe grapefruit and lemon, green floral notes and smoky mineral tones. It’s a full, gracious Sancerre to pour with rich shellfish dishes.

A beautiful minerality brings a lovely character. The palate is round with a finesse offering the aromatic flavors of gingerbread, honey and peach. The finish is persistent and ends on a light and refreshing mineral note. The first notes are very fine, complex and delicate. The aromas of peaches, quince and white flowers follow. Light aeration reveals the delicate scents of exotic fruit. The minerality brings a beautiful equilibrium and harmony.
