Domaine Michel Girard et Fils Sancerre is a delicate, complex, and beautifully precise white from one of the Loire's most respected family domaines — a wine that showcases Sancerre at its most elegant and terroir-driven. Sourced from 30 parcels across 21 hectares of vines averaging 15 years old, fermented with indigenous yeasts at 18°C in stainless steel, and blended from three of Sancerre's key soil types, this is a Sancerre of real depth, minerality, and finesse.

Why You'll Love It

What sets this Sancerre apart is the skilful restraint of the winemaking — the boisterous green aromatics often found in Sauvignon Blanc have been carefully managed, allowing fruity layers of green apple and lemon to shine through alongside a taut, mineral backbone. The result is a wine of genuine complexity and elegance that rewards attention. If you love Sancerre, this is a benchmark expression. If you've never tried it, this is the perfect introduction.

Vineyard & Production

Grapes are sourced from Sancerre's three key soil types: Terres Blanches (limestone), Caillottes (chalky limestone), and Silex (flint) — each contributing a distinct dimension to the final blend. Hand-picked and gently pressed, fermentation occurs at 18°C with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats to preserve natural aromas, elegance, and complexity. The final wine is a blend of all three terroirs, reflecting the unique character of each.

Tasting Notes

Herbaceous and aromatic on the nose, with citrus blossom and a subtle flint-driven minerality. The palate is taut and precise — citrus, green herb, and green apple, underpinned by a lively, saline minerality and a long, clean finish.

Perfect Pairings

The classic match for a soft, tangy crottin de Chavignol goat's cheese. Also excellent with delicate flat fish in a caper sauce, grilled asparagus, oysters, and light seafood dishes.
