Loire Discovery 6-pack

Just two hours south of Paris, Sancerre is the holy grail of Sauvignon Blanc. Winemakers all over the world - from New Zealand through to South Africa and Chile - try (and nearly always fail) to emulate it. And right beside Sancerre you’ll find Pouilly Fumé and Menetou-Salon - definitely less famous, but just as capable of producing world-class Sauvignon. These are all tiny regions - Sancerre is one-tenth the size of Bordeaux. The wines have been in high demand for decades, especially as they pair so well with the finest gastronomy. So with a bit of sunshine finally here, I’ve mixed a special 6-pack of these estates so you can taste some of the Loire’s finest whites for yourself. In the case you’ll get: 2x Domaine de Saint Romble Sancerre Vieilles Vignes 2024 - made in the same way as the regular Sancerre, but the vines here are up to 90 years old, giving more concentration and power to the wine 1x Domaine de Saint Romble Sancerre 2025 - from the famous Terres Blanches soils which give a gloriously wide spectrum of flavour to the Sauvignon grapes - everything from tropical, herbaceous to cassis flavours. This is classic Sancerre at an amazing price 2x Domaine du Grand Brussy Menetou-Salon 2023 - one of the Loire’s best-kept secrets, and rarely found outside of France. You get the elegance and sophistication of a Sancerre, but the clay soils give it a much richer and more tropical flavour. Menetou is the white by-the-glass option in most Parisian restaurants - and it’s easy to see why! 1x Domaine des Berthiers Pouilly Fumé 2025 - the vineyards are based on silex (flint), which is the most coveted soil in Pouilly Fumé. This brings out a piercing, mineral and almost smoky expression of Sauvignon Blanc - you don’t get this anywhere else in the world! ‘Outstanding value for money’ wrote John Wilson of a previous vintage in The Irish Times. P.s. Here’s our full range of Sauvignon Blancs at the moment, including one of my sneaky all-time favourite wines, the barrel-aged Pouilly Fumé Cuvée d'Ève!
