Domaine Raffaitin-Planchon Sancerre Blanc 2024
A crisp, dry white wine crafted entirely from Sauvignon Blanc grapes in the Sancerre region of France's Loire Valley. This particular vintage is highly regarded for its beautiful balance of rich, ripe tropical fruit and racy, mineral-driven acidity.
Profile and Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Delicate bursts of honeysuckle, orange blossoms, and jasmine, layered with vibrant green apple and gooseberry.
- Palate: Medium-to-full-bodied and very rounded. It offers an intense mix of ultra-ripe pear, lychee, and star fruit, which transitions into a concentrated, zesty citrus finish.
- Terroir Impact: The estate's 25 acres are spread across a mix of chalky limestone (terres blanches) and gravelly pebble (caillottes) soils in Amigny. This dual terroir lends structural weight, full body, and a distinct mineral "stony" freshness to the bottle.
- Production: Fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks to emphasize the fresh, unmasked purity of the fruit.
