Domaine de Saint Romble Sancerre 2025

Sancerre, which is just two hours south of Paris, 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. What makes this part of the world special is its soils. Especially Terres Blanches, a similar Kimmeridgian clay-limestone soil that you find in Chablis and parts of Champagne. These soils give the Sauvignon grapes a kaleidoscope of mouth-watering flavours that you just don’t get anywhere else. Domaine de Saint Romble is a tiny but highly respected estate in Sancerre. It’s on Terres Blanches - which gives this wide spectrum of flavour to the grapes - everything from tropical, herbaceous to cassis flavours. Damien makes this wine in a very low intervention way, to maximise the expression of this special land. This is classic Sancerre at an amazing price.
