Low Price Ladoucette Comte Lafond Grande Cuvee Sancerre 2022 - 750ml Markdown: -45% [5Wt8rdH6]

Winemaker Notes

A beautiful aromatic intensity developing delicate floral notes (small white flowers, blackcurrants) followed by powerful mineral aromas (pebbles and gun powder). An elegant bouquet, complex and typical of the richness of this great terroir. In the mouth, the attack is round and supple with a slight lovely tangy touch. Intense aromatic notes on a fleshy mineral structure reinforce the complexity. The finish is long and harmonious, full of fruity notes (both exotic and citrus).

This wine pairs beautifully this wine with shellfish, seafood and goat cheeses.

Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
