3446, Domaine Nicolas Millet Sancerre Les Grands Champs 2022 White

Domaine Nicolas Millet Sancerre Les Grands Champs 2022 is a refined Loire Valley white made from Sauvignon Blanc, combining Sancerre’s characteristic freshness with expressive mineral detail. Produced by a family with roots in Bué dating back to the 18th century, it reflects the ninth generation’s careful approach to one of France’s most celebrated appellations.

Tasting Notes
The wine presents a bright, pale-gold appearance. On the nose, it offers inviting aromas of citrus, white flowers and fresh orchard fruit, complemented by the mineral, flinty character associated with Sancerre. The palate is crisp and focused, with flavours of lemon, green apple and subtly herbal notes, supported by a clean acidity and a dry, refreshing finish. Its balanced structure allows it to develop additional roundness and depth in bottle while retaining its freshness. It is delicious now and should drink well over the next three to five years when properly stored.

Production
The Domaine Nicolas Millet vineyards are located around Bué, in the southern part of the Sancerre appellation, where Sauvignon Blanc benefits from the region’s cool climate and mineral-rich soils. The grapes are gently and slowly pressed using a pneumatic press, helping to preserve the purity of the fruit and delicate aromas. The wine is then matured in stainless-steel tanks for 10 months, maintaining its freshness and precise varietal character.

Food & Serving
Serve chilled at around 8–10°C. This Sancerre is an excellent match for goat’s cheese, oysters, shellfish, grilled fish, sushi, asparagus and fresh salads with citrus-based dressings. It can be enjoyed without decanting; however, allowing it to breathe briefly in the glass or serving it from a carafe for 15–20 minutes may reveal additional aromatic detail.

Producer
Domaine Nicolas Millet was established by the Millet family in the 1700s and is based in the village of Bué, an important wine-growing area in southern Sancerre. In 2008, Nicolas Millet, the ninth generation of the family, began working at the estate. Today, the domaine cultivates 14.88 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc for Sancerre Blanc, alongside 4.37 hectares of Pinot Noir for Sancerre Rouge and Rosé. Its continued family ownership and focus on careful, tank-based maturation underline a strong commitment to expressing the freshness and identity of the region.
