2025 Sancerre "Cote des Embouffans" Domaine Roger Neveu - In-Store Pickup Only

**Shipping not available for this product.** Sancerre undoubtedly represents one of the world’s best areas for growing Sauvignon Blanc, but even here, site plays paramount importance. The sleepy town, just west of the Loire River, is surrounded by gently rolling hills, with tidy vineyard rows covering every conceivable surface save the occasional hilltop village. However, not all vineyards are created equal: differences in exposure, slope, and altitude—along with minor variations in soil type—give drastically distinct wines from one plot to the next. The Neveu family is fortunate to own land in the Clos des Bouffants, an unusually steep parcel with a very poor, thin soil composed of rocky limestone. Facing due south, the Sauvignon here receives generous sunshine to produce an ample, concentrated wine. True to its terroir, it possesses striking nerve and minerality that underscore the mouthfilling citrus flavors. This is serious Sancerre made by a family whose roots in the region date back to the twelfth century.—Anthony Lynch Wine Type: White Vintage: 2025 Bottle Size: 750mL Blend: Sauvignon Blanc Appellation: Sancerre Country: France Region: Loire Producer: Domaine Roger Neveu Winemaker: Éric & Jean-Philippe Neveu Vineyard: 20 years average, 18 ha Soil: Limestone Aging: Wine aged for 3 months before first racking, aged for 8 to 12 months in total Farming: Lutte Raisonnée Alcohol: 13%
