Pascal et Nicolas Reverdy, Sancerre Blanc, Terre de Maimbray, Sancerre, Loire, France, 2024

Viticulture

The vineyards, the majority of which are located in Maimbray, lie on classic clay/ chalk soils known locally as ‘Terres Blanches’ (Kimmeridgian marls). Harvesting all the vineyard manually, with plowing the soil and only organic fertilisers, contributes greatly to the ultimate quality of their wines, revealing an excellent natural expression of their origins. Pascal also believes in retaining grass cover between the rows in order to provide competition to the vines’ roots, reduce vineyard humidity and stimulate nitrogen production.

Winemaking

The wine is vinified separately, parcel by parcel and bottled with only a light or no filtration, after a few months of maturation in stainless steel.

Tasting Note

A wine of character with intense notes of white flowers and citrus. The attack on the palate is lively and delicious. The finish is long with a slightly spicy touch.

Food Matching

Traditional French goats milk cheese like Crottin de Chavignol or oysters!
