J. De Villebois Sancerre Blanc 2024

J. de Villebois Sancerre Blanc 2024 is a vibrant and highly expressive Sauvignon Blanc that reflects the complex terroir of the Sancerre appellation. This signature cuvée is a meticulous blend of grapes grown on the region's three primary soil types: Caillottes (limestone), Terres Blanches (marl), and Silex (flint). The 2024 vintage required vigilant vineyard management, resulting in grapes harvested at optimal ripeness to maintain both elegant freshness and mineral tension.
On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of white peach, green apple, and citrus fruits like mandarin and yuzu, accented by delicate floral notes of elderflower. The palate is full and textured, showcasing flavours of gooseberry, pink grapefruit, and nectarine. It features a bright acidity and a distinct saline minerality, leading to a long, persistent finish with a fine touch of citrus pith.
