Gilles Lesimple 2023, Sancerre

Keep this wine in the fridge just in case. It's citrus, minerality, and elegance goes great with seafood, goat cheese, and roasted veggies.

Tasting Notes: Brilliant and pale yellow in the glass, this Sancerre opens with layered aromatics of citrus fruits like grapefruit and lemon, tropical hints of mango and lychee, floral touches, green notes, and a subtle spice and flinty minerality. The palate begins with a lively lemony attack that sparks the taste buds, followed by a supple, rounded texture and vibrant minerality. A classic expression of Sancerre.

Varietals: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
