Regular price
$43.00
Domaine Etienne Daulny, based in the village of Verdigny, farms over 15 hectares of vines spread across the finest terroirs of Sancerre. Known for producing precise and expressive Sauvignon Blanc, the estate emphasizes traditional methods, low intervention, and the unique mineral signatures of the region’s diverse soils.
- WINEMAKER: Etienne Daulny
- FARMING: Sustainable
- VARIETY: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
- TERROIR: The ‘Réserve’ cuvée is sourced from a selection of old vines rooted in a mosaic of clay-limestone (caillottes), flint (silex), and marl soils across several top sites in Verdigny. These distinct soil types contribute structure, minerality, and aromatic complexity.
- VINIFICATION: Grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks using native yeasts to preserve purity and varietal character.
- AGING: Aged on fine lees in stainless steel for several months to enhance mouthfeel and depth without obscuring freshness.
- TASTING NOTES: Classic and vibrant, with aromas of lime blossom, grapefruit zest, gooseberry, and crushed stones. The palate is racy and textured, with citrus and green fruit energy balanced by a flinty, mineral edge.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with goat cheese, oysters, ceviche, spring asparagus, or herbed roast chicken.
