Domaine Des Chasseignes, Sancerre Blanc Les Démalés, 2022

Domaine des Chasseignes’ Sancerre Blanc Les Démalés 2022 is a fresh, fruit-driven and concentrated expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley. Crafted by Aurore Dezat and David Girard, this cuvée reflects both a modern, thoughtful approach to winemaking and the classic purity that has made Sancerre one of the benchmark appellations for the grape.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this white wine is typically bright and pale, with a lively, crystalline look that hints at its freshness. The nose opens with clean citrus, green apple, and white peach, layered with floral notes and the subtle mineral edge so closely associated with Sancerre. On the palate, it is precise and energetic, balancing juicy fruit with a focused, linear structure. There is concentration here, but also elegance and lift, making the wine feel both approachable and serious. While delicious young for its freshness, it should also hold well over the next few years, gaining a little more complexity with time.

Production
Les Démalés comes from Sancerre in the Loire, a region where cool-climate conditions and varied limestone and flint soils help shape Sauvignon Blanc with tension, purity, and aromatic detail. Domaine des Chasseignes works with a modern, terroir-conscious mindset, and Aurore Dezat and David Girard are known for challenging conventions while keeping the wines true to their origin. The result is a carefully made cuvée that emphasizes freshness, precision, and varietal character.

Food & Serving
This wine is a natural match for goat’s cheese, fresh seafood, oysters, grilled fish, asparagus, and light dishes with herbs or citrus. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, to highlight its freshness and aromatic clarity. Decanting is not necessary, though a brief opening in the glass can help the wine show its full range.

Producer
Domaine des Chasseignes is run by the husband-and-wife team Aurore Dezat and David Girard, a duo recognized for their forward-thinking style and commitment to making expressive, polished wines from Sancerre. They have earned a reputation for producing wines that feel both contemporary and rooted in the traditions of the appellation, helping to showcase just how compelling Sauvignon Blanc from this part of the Loire can be.
