Thierry Merlin-Cherrier 23 Sancerre “AOC Synopsis” 2023 (750ml)
From the limestone-rich vineyards surrounding Bué in the heart of Sancerre, this 2023 Sauvignon Blanc embodies the classic Loire expression of freshness and minerality. Bright citrus notes—lemon zest and lime—lead the aromatic profile, accompanied by hints of green apple, white peach, and crushed stone, revealing the chalky caillottes and terres blanches soils of the appellation. On the palate, the wine is crisp and refreshing, driven by vibrant acidity and precise mineral tension, with subtle floral whispers and lees complexity adding depth. Elegant yet lively, it finishes with a long, zesty lift that reflects both terroir and tradition—an articulate and refined Sancerre that pairs beautifully with shellfish, goat cheese, and light seafood preparations.
