The Hubert Brochard estate comprises 113 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and 39 hectares of Pinot Noir, spread across the communes of Chavignol, Sancerre, Sainte-Gemme, Ménétréol, Saint-Satur, Thauvenay, and Bannay, with additional vineyards in Pouilly-Fumé. These diverse holdings offer the Brochards a range of soils for crafting wines of depth and complexity. The family holds plots in Les Monts Damnés and the Côte de Beaujeu, two of Chavignol's most famous vineyards, where terres blanches and Kimmeridgian marl soils produce powerful wines. Silex, or flint, is concentrated around Sancerre, Saint-Satur, Ménétréol, and Thauvenay, producing wines with a strong mineral character. Finally, vineyards planted on chalky caillottes soil provide attractive aromas to the wines.\n\n\n \nDomaine Hubert Brochard is one of the few Sancerre producers that continues to harvest most of its grapes by hand. The Sauvignon Blanc special cuvées, some vineyards, and all Pinot Noir are harvested by hand and transported to the winery in small crates. Sauvignon Blanc is destemmed and pneumatically pressed for vinification in stainless steel tanks.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The terroir of Hubert Brochard Sancerre Classique\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n Sancerre Classique comes from six different communes within the Sancerre appellation, which comprises approximately 40 percent limestone, 30 percent flint, and 30 percent clay. All plots are estate-owned and have an average age of 30 years. The grapes are destemmed and pneumatically pressed, with vinification taking place entirely in stainless steel tanks.\n\n\n \nThe aroma is truly inviting, highly refined with lovely notes of fresh white fruit and white flowers complemented by citrus and minerals. The palate is a true Sancerre gem, beautifully fresh with rounded, soft acidity. Plenty of nuances of apple and pear, and of course, minerals, citrus, and violets. The Hubert Bochard Sancerre Blanc is a wine that can age for three years but is already delicious to drink now.","brand":"Verbunt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775907565647,"sku":"95","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/brochard-sancerre_95.webp?v=1770041770"},{"product_id":"domaines-ott-clos-mireille-blanc-de-blancs","title":"Domaines Ott Clos Mireille Blanc de Blancs","description":"\u003ch2 data-start=\"321\" data-end=\"366\" class=\"\"\u003e Domaines Ott Clos Mireille Blanc de Blancs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"368\" data-end=\"712\" class=\"\"\u003e Clos Mireille Blanc de Blancs is the iconic white wine from Domaines Ott, originating from an exceptional terroir right on the Mediterranean Sea.

The steep granite slopes provide optimal growing conditions. Here, the grapes ripen perfectly, resulting in high-quality wines. The wine comes from vineyards purchased in 2006. It exhibits the perfect balance between tannic structure and aromatic complexity.\n\n\n \nTypically, the grapes are harvested at night to take advantage of the cooler temperatures during barreling. After entering the cellar, the grapes are pressed and stored in stainless steel tanks for twenty-four hours under refrigeration. Fermentation takes place at a maximum temperature of twenty-four degrees Celsius. To preserve the wine's fresh and fruity character, it does not undergo lactic fermentation. They are stored in stainless steel tanks until bottling, which takes place after a light clarification and filtration, ensuring the wine's stability. Only the finest grapes are selected and used to make this wine. Only the finest juice is good enough.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does Delas Viognier taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nAn intense, bright color with a golden hue.

This is partly due to the vineyards' perfect location. This Chardonnay is also grown in old vineyards in the Pays d'Oc region, specifically in the departments of Hérault, Aude, Gard, and Pyrénées. In these regions, the vines grow in nutrient-rich clay soil, a soil in which Chardonnay thrives. In the south of France, Chardonnay grows in ideal conditions. It can draw just the right amount of water from the soil to develop its characteristic freshness. And the Mediterranean climate provides perfect conditions for the grapes to develop their natural tendency toward suppleness.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The Chardonnay harvest of J. Moreau \u0026amp; Fils\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Chardonnay grapes are harvested at perfect ripeness and then destemmed and crushed to preserve the fruit and prevent unwanted vegetal aromas. The golden-yellow juice then ages for several months in the J. Moreau \u0026amp; Fils cellars. This allows the wine to develop and acquire all the wonderful qualities of aging.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The aroma and taste of the J.

It's not for nothing that it was the house wine of a well-known hotel in Scheveningen for years. Trust us: take one sip of this wine and you'll be convinced. You open it and you're immediately hooked: you smell stone fruit like peaches and nectarines, but also the sultry notes of yellow cream and mango. The aroma alone was enough to captivate us. What a superb wine! The taste reveals many typical Chardonnay characteristics. Think tropical fruits like peach, apricot, and a touch of melon. But also fresh notes like grapefruit. This keeps the wine from being too full-bodied, making it truly a crowd-pleaser. Try this wine with fish dishes, goat cheese, or light salads. A combination that's unbeatable.","brand":"Walraven","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775743627343,"sku":"553","price":8.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/j-moreau-fils-chardonnay_553.webp?v=1770044945"},{"product_id":"domaine-du-bosquet-chardonnay","title":"Domaine du Bosquet Chardonnay","description":"Domaine Du Bosquet, a beautiful winery in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, is renowned for its miles of beaches, wonderful climate, and the superb wines produced here.

Thus, the Pascal Jolivet winery was founded in 1987. His philosophy is to use only well-ripened grapes and to let nature take its course during vinification. The grapes' natural yeast cells do the work.\n\n\n \nPouilly is located 200 kilometers south of Paris, on the eastern bank of the Loire River. Jolivet owns eight hectares in the villages of Les Loges, St. Andelain, and Tracy.
