2025 Domaine Gueneau "Les Griottes" Sancerre, Loire Valley, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
"Les Griottes" is drawn from a single vineyard site just outside the village of Sury-en-Vaux, where clay-limestone soils (terres blanches) provide the foundation for this vivid Sauvignon Blanc. The winemaking is traditional and focused on purity: it undergoes temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation, avoiding oak influence to retain its crispness. Following fermentation, the wine rests on its fine lees for roughly 8 months to add texture before being bottled.Â
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Domaine Gueneau is a family-owned estate located in the heart of the Sancerre appellation, now led by the talented and detail-driven Luc Gueneau. The domaine emphasizes sustainable farming and precision winemaking, cultivating about 16 hectares of vines on classic Sancerre terroirs—kimmeridgian marl, caillottes, and silex. With a deep respect for tradition and a keen eye for site expression, Gueneau crafts wines that are both vibrant and elegant. Their approach highlights purity, freshness, and balance, positioning the estate as a standout among small, quality-driven Sancerre producers.
