2025 Domaine Malleron - Sancerre (750ml)
A genuine family estate rooted in the southern reaches of the appellation, Domaine René Malleron offers an authentic and unpretentious expression of Sancerre at an accessible price. The domaine has been a family business for over a century, passing from father to son, with the estate covering just over 11 hectares situated in the southern part of Sancerre at the foot of the surrounding hillsides.
The estate devotes 28.5 acres to Sauvignon Blanc for white wine production. Domaine René Malleron practices sustainable agriculture, with chemical treatments used only when strictly necessary and grasses allowed to grow between the vine rows to attract beneficial insects and prevent erosion.
The vineyard soils are predominantly limestone clays with pebbles and red soil. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel, and the wine ages on fine lees before bottling. The resulting style is a pale golden wine with citrus aromas and mineral hints that delivers classic Sancerre character in a fresh, approachable style.
Pairs beautifully with:
- Oysters, shellfish, and grilled fish
- Fresh goat cheese and light salads
- Aperitif and casual warm-weather dining
