More about the 2015 DOMAINE LA CROIX, SAINT-LAURENT SANCERRE The 2015 Domaine La Croix Saint-Laurent Sancerre offers a precise and deeply expressive look at classic Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Domaine La Croix Saint-Laurent traces its roots to the early 19th century, and that long history is evident in the wine’s clarity and confidence. Produced from approximately 45-year-old vines planted in limestone and chalky clay soils, the wine delivers remarkable purity and tension. It moves across the palate with effortless elegance, combining concentrated yet weightless fruit with a finely etched line of acidity that gives the wine lift, energy, and persistence. With only about 70 cases imported into the United States, this bottling remains a genuine rarity on the American market. True to its origin, this Sancerre is made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc, the sole permitted grape for white Sancerre, and it expresses the variety with textbook precision. The Loire Valley’s cool continental climate and mineral-rich soils shape a wine that emphasizes freshness, structure, and restraint rather than overt ripeness. The 2015 vintage shows excellent balance, with texture derived from vine age and site rather than winemaking excess, allowing the natural character of the fruit and terroir to take center stage. For those seeking a distinctive, classically styled white wine that reflects both place and tradition, this Sancerre stands as a compelling and uncommon example. Importer's Tasting Notes: "Nose of apple blossoms, chalk. Rich, ripe and round mouthfeel, very complex, with flavors of white citrus, tropical citrus. Mineral driven throughout. Tremendous wine."
