Pale gold coloured, this white Coteaux du Giennois has typical aromas of white flowers, citrus and exotic fruits (grapefruit, passion fruit). Coteaux du Giennois white is a fresh and fruity wine with floral aromas, and notes of white fruits such as quince and pear.
The wine is gentle and supple on entry to the palate and is followed by a refreshing acidity which provides good balance to the overall softness of the wine.
The 2021 Coteaux du Giennois Sauvignon Blanc opens with a clear, fresh and aromatic bouquet of domestic and tropical fruit aromas such as gooseberries, kiwis and passion fruit seeds intermingled with the aromas of wet gravel and flint stones. Full-bodied, elegant and juicy on the palate, with perfectly ripe yet fresh fruit and fine acidity, this is a stimulating, intense, saline and refreshing Sancerrois from an excellent vintage. The finish is quite intense in its fruit flavors yet also stimulating saline and bitter, with lime zest and grapefruit notes. Tasting this wine after the Pouilly and Sancerre, it reveals a little lactic character. Diam cork. Tasted in March 2023.
