TASTING NOTES
Le Vallon Sancerre 2021 from Domaine de Terres Blanches is produced from a single vineyard of almost 3 hectares called Le Vallon, with vines about 25 years old. The soil is mainly limestone, composed of caillottes, the typical hard limestone of the Sancerre region, together with Terres Blanches. Harvesting is done manually, choosing ripe grapes with care. After a gentle pressing, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for about twenty days. The wine is then matured in steel vats for 10 months on its lees, to give it roundness and finesse before bottling.

In 1998, Jean-Louis Saget decided to purchase Domaine de Terres Blanches for its outstanding characteristics. With a strong family tradition in Pouilly-sur-Loire, he immediately recognised the great potential of Sauvignon Blanc in the renowned Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé appellations. In 2010, Arnaud and Laurent Saget joined their father in the family business, concentrating their efforts on enhancing the terroir and the wines produced. Domaine de Terres Blanches owns 15 hectares of exceptional terroir in the Sancerre appellation, in the communes of Bué en Sancerre and Amigny, with 13.5 hectares dedicated to Sauvignon Blanc and 1.5 hectares to Pinot Noir. A further 2 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc are cultivated in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation, thus completing the estate's vineyards. The Domaine's identity is based on the terroirs from which the grapes come, respecting the soil as the mother of the wines to allow each product to express its uniqueness. Winemaking is done to preserve the specific characteristics of the grapes, vinifying each parcel separately. Love for the land and the vineyards, together with the desire to bring out the unique character of the terroir, are the core values of the Domaine de Terres Blanches.
