    Winemaker Notes

    White or bright green in color. An elegant wine, rich nose reminiscent of ripe lemon and grapefruit. Pleasant taste, slightly minty, good length.

    Pairs well with white meat with cream sauce, poultry, fish, shell-fish and goat cheese.

    Domaine Chatelain has roots beginning in 1630 in the village of Les Berthiers in Pouilly-sur-Loire. The family has worked the soils of their vineyards in Pouilly-Fumé for generations. Jean-Claude and now his son Vincent, 12th generation winemaker, run the domaine.

    There are 20 hectares scattered among three villages : Les Berthiers, St Andelain and Les Loges. The soil types vary from limestone and Kimmeridgean clay to silica and flint. The wines are special. Jean-Claude is a master at extracting the maximum amount of fruit.

    Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.

    Marked by its charming hilltop village in the easternmost territory of the Loire, Sancerre is famous for its racy, vivacious, citrus-dominant Sauvignon blanc. Its enormous popularity in 1970s French bistros led to its success as the go-to restaurant white around the globe in the 1980s.

    While the region claims a continental climate, noted for short, hot summers and long, cold winters, variations in topography—rolling hills and steep slopes from about 600 to 1,300 feet in elevation—with great soil variations, contribute the variations in character in Sancerre Sauvignon blancs.

    In the western part of the appellation, clay and limestone soils with Kimmeridgean marne, especially in Chavignol, produce powerful wines. Moving closer to the actual town of Sancerre, soils are gravel and limestone, producing especially delicate wines. Flint (silex) soils close to the village produce particularly perfumed and age-worthy wines.

    About ten percent of the wines claiming the Sancerre appellation name are fresh and light red wines made from Pinot noir and to a lesser extent, rosés. While not typically exported in large amounts, they are well-made and attract a loyal French following.
