Experience the Exquisite 2024 Sancerre Blanc Corty

Discover the pure elegance of the 2024 Sancerre Blanc Corty, a captivating expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the heart of France's Loire Valley.

About this Wine:

• Vintage: 2024 - A promising vintage in Sancerre, though with potentially lower yields due to early season challenges, expect concentrated flavors and vibrant acidity.
• Producer: Crafted by Corty Artisan, part of the esteemed Domaine Patrice Moreux, a family with a winemaking history spanning centuries in the Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé regions. Their philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, natural fermentation, and a deep respect for the terroir.   
• Appellation: Sancerre AOC, renowned for producing some of the world's finest Sauvignon Blanc wines.   
• Grape Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc, showcasing the varietal's crispness and aromatic complexity.   
• Terroir: This cuvée is likely sourced from a blend of Sancerre's diverse soils, potentially including the famed Kimmeridgian limestone (known as "terres blanches" and "caillottes"), which imparts distinct minerality and finesse to the wine. Some fruit may originate from vineyards in Chavignol and Crezancy, known for their quality.
• Winemaking: Expect a traditional approach with gentle pneumatic pressing and fermentation with natural yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's fresh and pure character. Malolactic fermentation is typically avoided in Sancerre Blanc to maintain its bright acidity. The wine is often aged on its lees (fermentation sediment) for added texture and complexity.   

Tasting Profile (Anticipated for the 2024 Vintage):

The 2024 Sancerre Blanc Corty is expected to deliver a classic Sancerre profile with a vibrant and elegant character. Look for:

• Aromas: An expressive nose with notes of zesty citrus fruits (lemon, lime, grapefruit), intertwined with green apple, and subtle hints of tropical fruit. Characteristic herbal and grassy undertones, such as gooseberry, nettle, or fresh herbs, will add complexity. You may also detect delicate floral notes and a distinctive flinty minerality.
• Palate: A dry and lively wine with a refreshing and well-defined acidity. Expect a crisp attack leading to a rounded mouthfeel with concentrated flavors mirroring the aromas. The minerality will provide a steely backbone and a long, clean, and vibrant finish.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

The 2024 Sancerre Blanc Corty is a versatile food wine that pairs beautifully with:

• Seafood: Oysters, grilled fish (trout, salmon), shrimp, scallops, and other shellfish.
• Goat Cheese: Especially the local Crottin de Chavignol, a classic pairing.
• Salads: Light and fresh salads, particularly those with vinaigrette dressings.
• Poultry: Grilled chicken or turkey.
