A stunning wine from the highest vineyard site in Europe on the summit of Mont Blanc. Because these vineyards are so isolated, Pavese has been able to work with the original, pre-phylloxera root stock since that malady never infiltrated this area when it came sweeping through Europe many years ago. An austere, racy, mineral white wine with vivacity and length.
-Importer notes (Rosenthal)
Our white Sancerre Moulin des Vrillères is a blend of our different parcels of Sauvignon. Beautiful pale clear yellow colour. Delicate aroma of white flowers, also developing a citrus tone. On the palate, a fresh, strong, airy style wich is seduced by purity and intensity of its aromas. A true Sancerre
-Winery notes
The grapes for this basic cuvée of Sancerre are sourced from the vineyards in Bué, Vinon and Crézancy. After harvest, fermentation is done in stainless steel cuves at temperatures between 14 and 18 degrees Celsius. As with all the whites at the domaine, this wine sits in contact with the fine lies for a considerable period of time with the racking being done late in the spring following harvest. The first bottling occurs no earlier than July and frequently does not occur until September of the year following harvest.
