Info:

Interesting: While the estate is famous for its high-end, flint-grown Sancerre, this 'Tradition' cuvée is sourced from the broader Val de Loire to offer a more accessible, fruit-forward, and easy-drinking introduction to their classic winemaking style.

Did You Know?: Winemaker Florian Mollet’s family has been making wine in the Loire since the 15th century.

Pairing: Fresh goat cheese or oysters; a light lunch on the patio.

Ideal for The Purist

Your mouth is a "cut-seeker." You likely have a lower sensitivity to acidity than the average person, meaning you need more zesty, sour punch to feel satisfied. Conversely, you are highly sensitive to sugar and viscosity; thick, sweet textures feel "cloying" or suffocating to your tongue. You crave the physical sensation of salivation - that "electric" feeling on the sides of your jaw is your primary measure of a wine's quality.
