Sancerre Blanc: Les Perriers 2011

Andre and Arielle Vatan are two of our longest-serving and highly-regarded suppliers. Their 'Les Perriers' Sancerre wine is a quintessential Sancerre with textbook nettle and cut-grass scents over a palate of crisp, mineral-edged gooseberry fruit. While it doesn’t demand food it is very versatile - English asparagus is the perfect accompaniment to the newly bottled wine.
The Vatans own 10 hectares of vines within the appellation of Sancerre and one hectare outside which is classified as a Vin de Pays du Cher.

What others think of this wine...

Yapp Brothers Staff Review - Jason says:

Sancerre suffers for being considered an unimaginative choice by wine buffs but this wine has rekindled my love of Loire Sauvignon – ripe gooseberry aromas precede a sleek, racy palate underscored by a nervy minerality. My aperitif of the moment. It exudes finesse.

Yapp Brothers Staff Review - Meirion says:

A classic, failsafe Sancerre - citrusy fruit and excellent minerality. Crisp, clean, vibrant and zesty, and showing as well as ever.
