Karine Lauverjat Sancerre 2023

A beautiful medium weight Sancerre from Christian & Karine Lauverjat. Ripe pear, greengage plum and honeysuckle on the nose, with hints of clay minerality. The fleshy texture in the mouth is cut through with a tangy pineapple acidity. Focused and refreshing. Sustainable agriculture. 

The Lauverjat family has been growing grapes in Sancerre for generations in the tiny village of Sury-en-Vaux. In the past, they always sold off the grapes to other producers, but decided eventually that it was sad to work so hard all year in the vineyards and then not be able to enjoy the fruit of their labor. Husband and wife team, Christian and Karine have made improvements over the years, including a transition to sustainable viticulture.
