Flavour profile

Produced in the heart of the Sancerre appellation by Vignobles Berthier, the Berthier Sancerre Les Chasseignes epitomizes the refinement and tradition of the Loire Valley. This gem, originating from limestone-rich soil, provides a unique foundation for Sauvignon Blanc grapes to develop their full potential. The delicate pressing process and subsequent careful debourbage of the juice preserve the purity and freshness of the fruit. During the naturally initiated fermentation, with strictly controlled temperatures, the aromas fully develop. A prolonged aging on fine lees, for at least 18 months, deepens the complexity of this wine, revealing subtle textures and refined flavors. This meticulous and artistic approach to winemaking reflects the winery's philosophy: winemaking as a true art form.

Upon pouring the Berthier Sancerre Les Chasseignes, the nose is immediately captivated by an intense aroma of fresh citrus fruits, blended with floral notes and an intriguing mineral finish. Aromas of freshly cut grass and a hint of herbs like dill and anise enrich the bouquet and invite the first sip. On the palate, this Sancerre reveals a lively and refreshing acidity, characteristic of Sauvignon Blanc, beautifully balanced with a rich fruitiness. Flavors of green apple, lime, and a subtle hint of white peach add depth, while mineral undertones enhance the structure. This results in a refreshing and lingering finish that truly reveals the hallmarks of a top Sancerre.

The Berthier Sancerre Les Chasseignes is not only a pleasure to drink but also shines at the table with a variety of culinary pairings. Ideally served at a temperature of 8-10°C, this wine truly shines. It pairs beautifully with an aperitif such as a fresh Crottin de Chavignol, where the soft texture of the cheese harmonizes with the wine's vibrant acidity. For a main course, this Sancerre is a wonderful accompaniment to a creamy salmon risotto, where the wine's freshness perfectly balances the richness of the dish. Its refined balance and elegant fruity notes make this wine a favorite for both formal dinners and relaxed evenings with friends, making every moment a special occasion.
