Domaine Gerard Millet Sancerre AC

Domaine Gerard Millet Sancerre AC from France, Loire, Sancerre by Domaine Gerard Millet (12 x 75 cl)

The charming Betty and Franck Millet own this 12 hectare domaine, centred around the village of Bué en Sancerre. The Sancerre vineyards are situated along the Loire River approximately two hours south of Paris. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are pressed as soon as they are picked. The juice is then allowed to settle, then the alcoholic fermentation begins. The 1998 vintage was the first vintage to see the use of temperature controlled fermentation at the domaine. The fermentation is now conducted between 14°C to 17°C. Low temperature fermentation means a longer fermentation is possible which allows a gentler extraction of primary fruit, which is preserved and defines the character of the wine. The wine has an intensely aromatic nose of leaves, herbs and minerals. It has fresh acidity and is dry and fruity with a flinty quality. (6 x 75 cl)

A few weeks later, the wine is clarified with a natural filtering agent to eliminate impurities. Lastly, it is racked, filtered, and bottled. A wine made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, it has a pronounced, expressive nose of green fruits, fresh cut grass and minerals. The palate is clean and ultra crisp; medium bodied and packed with greengage, lime and gooseberry fruit. The finish is clean, showing a real sense of place through its minerality. (6 x 75 cl)
