Description

The Sancerre White is made wholly from the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety. The grapes are always harvested at peak maturity, which will enable the development of aromas of fresh cut grass, white flowers, citrus and exotic fruits, infused throughout with the typical Sancerre elegance and mineral character.

Enjoy as an aperitif or with seafood, oysters, smoked fish or foie gras. Splendid with Goat's cheese.

The Dezat family is one of the oldest wine-growing families in Sancerre. References to the family can be found in records dating as far back as 1550. André Dezat took over the family vineyards in 1948 and became actively involved in promoting the wines of Sancerre. In the 1970's, he was joined by his sons, Louis and Simon. Now his grandson, Firmin, takes on the domaine and in an organic direction, keeping it a family business.

The Domaine modernised with new facilities and gained new impetus, particularly in terms of the production of wines from Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé. Firmin chose to qualify for the Ministry of Agriculture and Food’s High Environmental Value (HVE) certification, and will soon be certified organic.

The domaine's Sancerre vineyard comprises of 8 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc with 4 hectares dedicated to Pinot Noir. Vines are over 50 years old.
