Product Profile

Situated in Bué in the Sancerre region of the Loire Valley, the Millet family has been making wine for over five generations. The family Domaine is now run by Gérard and Isabelle, along with their son Steve. The estate covers a total of 24 hectares of vineyard, of which 19 are in the Sancerre appellation and five hectares are in Menetou-Salon.

This family-owned winery has recently invested in new heat exchange equipment to ensure that the grapes and must are cooled to obtain maximum freshness in the wine. Their wines are fresh, pure and show great typicity.

Winemaking

The grapes were pressed and the juice underwent cold static settling for 48 hours. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts lasting two to three weeks. The wine was then aged on the fine lees for six to nine months to impart texture and complexity. This cuvée was vinified without the influence of oak, allowing the pure fruit flavours to be fully expressed.

Tasting Note

A crisp and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc with delicate aromas of exotic fruit, citrus notes and a hint of white floral blossom. Lovely and textured on the palate with a mouthwatering finish
