Domaine de La Chézatte 2023 – Sancerre

The wine has a pale lemon yellow color with silver highlights. On the nose, it expresses the expressive and typical aromas of Sauvignon Blanc: grapefruit, gooseberry and a vegetal touch of green bean, which highlights the fruits. After aeration, we also find notes of green apple, passion fruit, a touch of limestone and flint in the background, as well as green apple skin. On the palate, the attack reflects the nose in the vegetal note of green bean as well as in the flavors of citrus (grapefruit, lime), green apple and gooseberry. The minerality returns at the end of the palate, in the limestone and smoky notes of gunflint, highlighted by a dry touch of chalk. The finish is fragrant and lingering, with flavors of gooseberry and green bean, and with a salivating acidity. A refined wine, with a pronounced vegetal touch, but integrated and quite pleasant.
