Description
Picard Sancerre Blanc Cuvée Les Perrois 2024 is a serious and beautifully refined expression of Sauvignon Blanc from one of Sancerre’s most respected family domaines. Sourced from old vines in top Bué parcels, it combines precision, depth, and the chalk-driven mineral character that has made Sancerre a benchmark for the variety.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a pale golden hue with a polished, luminous appearance. The bouquet is elegant and layered, opening with white peach, citrus, honeydew melon, elderflower, and delicate white blossoms.
The palate is concentrated and textured, yet never heavy, with lively acidity carrying flavors of ripe stone fruit, citrus zest, and a subtle floral lift. A long, mineral finish gives the wine real tension and clarity. Thanks to its structure and old-vine concentration, the 2024 vintage should age gracefully for several years, gaining even more complexity over time.
Production
Cuvée Les Perrois comes from old Sauvignon Blanc vines, some over 60 years of age, in the acclaimed Chêne Marchand and Grand Chemarin parcels in Bué. The vineyards are defined by limestone-rich soils and the cool Loire climate, which help preserve freshness while building aromatic precision and a distinctive mineral edge.
The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before vinification. Around 80% of the wine is fermented and matured in stainless steel to preserve purity, while 20% is aged in 400-liter oak barrels, half of them new. The wine then spends approximately 12 months on the lees with regular bâtonnage, adding texture, depth, and complexity without compromising its freshness.
Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for shellfish, oysters, grilled white fish, seafood risotto, goat’s cheese, and poultry dishes with herbs or a light cream sauce. Serve chilled at around 8–10°C. Decanting is not essential, but allowing the wine a little time in the glass can help раскры its full aromatic range.
