2025 Lauverjat - Sancerre Moulin Vrilleres (750ml)

The Lauverjat family has farmed vines in Sancerre for generations from their base in Sury-en-Vaux, a small village within the appellation. The estate is now run by the husband-and-wife team of Christian and Karine Lauverjat, who tend around thirty acres of vineyards split between Sancerre and neighboring Pouilly-Fumé. Christian, often described locally as the driving force behind the domaine, has built a reputation for consistent quality across vintages, and Moulin des Vrillères has become one of the estate's best known bottlings.

The wine is a blend of several parcels of Sauvignon Blanc, drawn from vines around thirty years old planted in clay-limestone soils around Sury-en-Vaux. Fermentation and aging both take place in stainless steel, with the wine spending roughly three months on its lees to build texture and depth without introducing any oak influence. This straightforward, tank-based approach keeps the focus squarely on the vineyard's fruit and mineral character.

The color is a pale, clear yellow, with delicate white floral aromas that develop into citrus with time in the glass. The palate is fresh and lively, with real purity and intensity of fruit, backed by fine minerality and a tangy, herbaceous finish. Pair with fresh shellfish or a simple herb-crusted fish.
