Domaine du Carrou is the personal estate of Dominique Roger. He represents the younger generation of vignerons keen to combine tradition with modern techniques.The vineyards have a very shallow top soil under which one finds a hard chalky soil, which imparts that subtle floral scent to his wines. Sourced exclusively from vineyard sites around the town of Sancerre in the upper Loire valley, the grapes are lightly pressed and chilled immediately upon reception at the winery. Fermentation is in steel tanks and temperature controlled in order to preserve the varietal flavours of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes. No oak, filtered and fined before bottling. A grassy nose with hints of gooseberries; well balanced palate with a good concentration of fruit and racy acidity.

Fermentation is in steel tanks and temperature controlled in order to preserve the varietal flavours of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes. No oak, filtered and fined before bottling. Wonderfully perfumed, refined aromas of gooseberries and grass, enlivened on the palate by fresh but well balanced acidity, elements of minerals and an echo of gooseberry fruit lasting well into the racy finish.
