Type: White
Producer: Thomas-Labaille
Country: France
Region: Sancerre, Loire Valley
Grape: Sauvignon Blanc
Year: 2024
Farming: Sustainable

100% Sauvignon Blanc. Thomas-Labaille has vines averaging thirty years old with some much older on the famously steep slope of Monts Damnés in Chavignol. They are sustainably farmed and harvested by hand. The wine is fermented with native yeasts in fiberglass and cement tanks, aged on its lees in stainless steel tanks (with a small proportion of used barrel in some vintages) for four to six months and bottled without filtration. 

Refreshing acidity and a vibrant fruitiness. Notes of grapefruit, lemon, and green apple. The wine exhibits classic Sancerre characteristics, such as gooseberry and grass, along with a touch of flint and stone.
