2020 Les Marnes Sancerre, Renaissance Fleuriet & Marchand Vignerons

Drink because…

Mindblowing Sancerre - great pairing with lobster, crayfish or fish in sauce. 

Grapes  

100% Sauvignon Blanc

Storage

12 and 15 months of ageing in demi muids, 500 litres wooden barrels.

Viticulture

Certified organic farming, all work is done manually except ploughing. Biodynamic certification on vintage 2021. The grapes are picked by hand and put into small cases of 20 kg in order to protect the grapes. 

Winemaking

The fermentation takes place slowly in barrels, only
indigenous yeasts.

Les Marnes is aged between 12 and 15 months in demi-
muids, our 500 litres wooden barrels.

Only a very small addition of sulphites, just before bottling.

Tasting Note

Colour is deep golden with shiny reflections. Explosive and elegant, the nose is made of light vanilla, floral (acacia and may tree) and butter pastries notes.
In the mouth richness, density and balance, Les Marnes proves the high ageing potential of Sauvignon. This wine is perfect now, but it can wait few years too.
