Domaine Bernard Fleuriet Sancerre Tradition Rouge, Loire, France 2022

Description

Wine Enthusiast 89

Aged in cement tanks to preserve freshness, this wine is bright and fruity, moving towards kiwi and mango flavors with a lively grapefruit edge. Drink the wine from 2023. Organic. Roger Voss

Since 1991, our estate, which was originally a farm, has planted vines on 20 ha of sloped and fallow land in the Sancerre appellation in addition to 3 ha in Menetou-Salon. Divided among 35 parcels, our vines are planted on south or south-east facing slopes in the three main terroirs of the Sancerrois. The three soil profiles - 10% flint, 50% stony calcareous “caillottes” and 40% “terres blanches” (white earth) - are highly representative of the region’s typicity and diversity, allowing us to create blends that boast great complexity and elegant subtlety.
