ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
This Sancerre domain has been passed down through the generations of the Cherrier family since 1848 and the name Domaine de la Rossignole was given in honour of one of the ancestral parcels. Since 1994, the estate has been run by François and JeanMarie Cherrier, who passionately believe in a philosophy of minimal intervention in the vineyard and winery, allowing the wines to fully express the terroir. The result is a stunning Sancerre, which showcases all the classic hallmarks of the appellation.
ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The vineyard is located in the heart of the Sancerre appellation and the soil is a blend of the three main soils which are typical of the region: clayey-siliceous, silex and clayeychalk. Biodynamic techniques are employed in the vineyard. The vines are cultivated as naturally as possible, with ploughing, hoeing and short pruning. The environment and biodiversity are respected when protecting the vineyard against disease, fertilisers have not been used for many years and products containing harmful chemicals are also not employed. Maintaining the terroir in the most natural way, encourages the most authentic expression of the Sancerre terroir. Following a philosophy of working with a low carbon footprint, the vineyard is managed in order to consume the least amount of energy as possible.
THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The grapes were pressed within two hours of being picked, in order to retain freshness. The must was settled over 24 hours, separating the juice from the solids. After a racking, the juice was transferred to stainless steel tanks, where it underwent fermentation at controlled temperatures of between 19°C and 20°C. The wine was racked and matured on its fine lees to add texture and complexity, before being cold stabilised, filtered and bottled.
OUR TASTING NOTES:
An aromatic wine, delivering complex aromas of ripe apricot and pineapple, complemented by floral notes. A beautifully structured Sancerre, with a fresh attack and a full, rich palate with distinctive mineral overtones. Long and intense, finishing on bergamot lemon notes.
GRAPE VARIETY:
Sauvignon Blanc 100%.
