Introduction
Langlois Château de Thauvenay Sancerre Terroir Calcaire 2022 is a strikingly elegant Sauvignon Blanc that captures the essence of Sancerre’s famed limestone soils. Sourced from the estate’s prized terroir in the heart of the Loire Valley, this wine embodies purity, precision, and the timeless charm of a classic Sancerre. It is a wine for lovers of minerality and refined freshness.
Character Description
Pale lemon in color with green highlights, this Sancerre opens with vibrant aromas of citrus blossom, lime zest, and white peach. As it evolves in the glass, notes of flint, chalk, and fresh herbs add complexity. On the palate, it is taut and focused, revealing flavors of grapefruit, green apple, and crushed stone. The lively acidity and chalky minerality lead to a long, crystalline finish that reflects the wine’s limestone origins.
Perfect Pairings
This wine is a perfect match for shellfish such as oysters, clams, and prawns, as well as goat cheeses like the regional Crottin de Chavignol. Its bright profile enhances sushi, ceviche, or a simple salad of fresh herbs and chèvre. Whether as an aperitif or with a seafood-centric meal, this Sancerre is a refreshing and sophisticated choice.
