2025 Domaine Gueneau "Les Griottes" Sancerre, Loire Valley, FranceABOUT THIS WINE "Les Griottes" is drawn from a single vineyard site just outside the village of Sury en Vaux, where clay limestone soils (terres blanches) provide the foundation for this vivid Sauvignon Blanc. The winemaking is traditional and focused on purity: it undergoes temperature controlled stainless steel fermentation, avoiding oak influence to retain its crispness. Following fermentation, the wine rests on its fine lees for roughly 8 months
