This Weekend's Special: Wine Spectator's #66 wine of 2024 only $11.99
Pale yellow color with light green highlights. Nose of citrus and white fruits, touches of boxwood and menthol. Fresh and tangy attack on the palate, light vegetal notes extending to the finish. To be enjoyed with oysters, a shellfish platter and fish.
From a thirty year-old parcel planted by Christian Lauverjat's father. The vineyard has a limestone and clay soil, with a lot of white stones throughout. It is just outside of the Sancerre appellation and is classifed as Vin de Pays. The wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel and spends three months on the lees.
The Lauverjat family has been farming in Sancerre for generations in the tiny village of Sury-en-Vaux. For many years, the family had a mill on a tiny river called La Belaine that is next to the winery and they used to mill their own wheat; the winery is still known by some as the "Moulin des Vrillères".They have 110 hectares of grains, including wheat, hops, and rapeseed and 13 hectare of vines in Sury-en-Vaux and Sainte-Gemme-en-Sancerrois, two small villages within the Sancerre appellation.
