2023 Domaine de L'Estang Coteaux du Giennois Blanc

Discover the vibrant purity of Domaine de L'Estang Coteaux du Giennois Blanc, a crisp white from the limestone slopes north of Sancerre. Crafted by Bertrand Graillot, this organic 100% Sauvignon Blanc is grown on flinty, calcareous soils and hand-harvested. Fermented with native yeasts and aged on lees in stainless steel, it glows with a pale straw hue. Bursting with grapefruit and white peach, it’s perfect for oyster feasts or sunny afternoons. This refreshing, mineral-driven wine captures the Loire Valley’s elegant terroir with finesse.

Nose: A lively bouquet unfolds with grapefruit, lime, and ripe white peach, accented by green apple and a flinty mineral edge. It’s aromatic and invigorating.

Palate: Light and zesty, the palate delivers fresh citrus, quince, and pear. Crisp acidity and a creamy lees texture balance a subtle chalky minerality. Effortlessly harmonious.

Finish: Citrus zest and a saline, stony note. It’s refreshing, urging another sip with vibrant allure.

This Sauvignon Blanc is a versatile gem. Pair it with fresh oysters or grilled fish for a classic Loire match. It shines with goat cheese or asparagus tart. For a casual vibe, try it with citrus-dressed salads or ceviche. Its bright acidity and minerality elevate delicate, fresh flavors.
