In the Egrots, a small hamlet in the commune of Sury-en-Vaux, 4 kilometers from Sancerre, Michel and Laurent Thomas operate a family estate comprising 17 hectares of vineyards, on 3 different types of terroirs: limestone and stony soil giving fine and fruity wines; clay and shellfish soils giving a wine with intense aromas of almonds and citrus; and sedimentary rock very hard siliceous, giving smoked aromas.

Description

TECHNICAL DATA

APPEARANCE
Pale lemon yellow/green straw color.

NOSE
Highly aromatic and fruity, featuring notes of exotic fruits (passion fruit, pineapple), citrus (lemon, grapefruit), and delicate white flowers.

PALATE
Focused and zesty with a “citrus-charged” core. It displays a harmonious balance between ripe fruit intensity and a flinty minerality characteristic of the region’s chalk-rich soils. Long and clean with lingering mineral facets.

PAIRING
This versatile Sancerre is well-suited for aperitif, and pairs beautifully with dishes ranging from fresh-shucked oysters to grilled halibut fish.
