Domaine Hubert Brochard 'Château de Fontaine-Audon' Sancerre 2023
Production notes
This Sauvignon comes from vineyards surrounding the beautiful Chateau de Fontaine Audon in the north of the Appellation, on flinty soil. The vineyard is HVE environmental certified (High Environmental Value). Sauvignon grapes are harvested partly with machines and by hand. Pressing is only in pneumatic presses. The vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperature in order to keep all the fine aromas of Sauvignon. This flinty terroir will give very mineral, fine and precise Sancerre. The wine is bottled around July the year after the harvest. A perfect expression of the flinty soil of Sancerre.
