La Chapelle du Berry Sancerre Cuvee Prestige 2024 750ml

Product Info

Terroir
Sourced from select vineyard sites across Sancerre in the Loire Valley, this cuvée highlights the region’s hallmark soils of limestone, clay, and flint (silex). These diverse soil types contribute both structure and complexity, while the cool continental climate allows for slow, even ripening. The resulting fruit retains vibrant acidity and pronounced mineral character, forming the backbone of this classic Sauvignon Blanc expression.

Winemaking & Technical Notes
Crafted with a focus on precision and aromatic purity, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented at controlled temperatures to preserve freshness. A portion of the wine may see extended lees contact to enhance texture and depth, while stainless steel aging maintains clarity and brightness. The “Cuvée Prestige” designation reflects a selection of higher-quality lots, assembled to achieve balance, intensity, and refinement.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in color, the 2024 opens with expressive aromas of citrus blossom, grapefruit, and green apple, layered with notes of white peach and flinty minerality. The palate is crisp and focused, with lively acidity driving flavors of lemon, lime, and orchard fruit. A subtle saline edge and mineral undertone carry through to a long, clean, and refreshing finish.

Food Pairing & Service
A natural match for seafood, this Sancerre pairs beautifully with oysters, grilled fish, and shellfish. It also complements goat cheese—particularly classic Loire styles—as well as fresh salads and herb-driven dishes. Serve well chilled to emphasize its brightness and precision.

Cellaring Potential
While immediately appealing for its freshness and aromatic vibrancy, this wine can evolve over the next 3–5 years. With short-term aging, it may develop added texture and subtle complexity while maintaining its signature acidity and mineral drive.
