DOMAINE BIZET SANCERRE BLANC
Classic Loire Sauvignon Blanc with grassy minerality and bright citrus, Sancerre at its most textbook.
Sancerre is the world's most celebrated Sauvignon Blanc appellation, a small Loire Valley AC on the left bank of the river whose flint and limestone (silex and Kimmeridgian chalk) soils give its wines a mineral precision that has made the name synonymous with the grape at its most refined. Domaine Bizet is a family estate in the appellation, producing Sancerre in the traditional style that built the AC's global reputation.
The wine delivers the Sancerre archetype: intense citrus, white grapefruit, green apple, and fresh cut grass on the nose, with a vibrant, mineral-driven palate, high natural acidity, and a long, flinty finish with a distinctive flint and chalk edge. This is a wine of precision and focus rather than generosity, it demands food and rewards attention.
Sancerre is the benchmark for Sauvignon Blanc worldwide. Domaine Bizet is a textbook example.
Pairs well with: Oysters, Fresh Goat Cheese (Chevre), Seared Scallops, Grilled Asparagus, Dover Sole
Sancerre on the table says something. It says the occasion was thought about.
