Description

Description:

J. de Villebois Sancerre is an exceptional example of Sauvignon Blanc from the heart of France's renowned Loire Valley. Crafted by the passionate de Willebois family, this wine is a celebration of tradition and innovation, combining meticulous vineyard selection with modern winemaking expertise. The family's dedication to capturing the soul of the Loire terroir is evident in every bottle, with grapes sourced from the famed slopes surrounding the historic town of Sancerre. These vineyards are uniquely positioned across the appellation's three classic soil types: the limestone-rich Les Caillottes, the complex Les Terres Blanches, and the flinty Silex, each contributing their own layer of aromatic depth and minerality. Winemaker Patrice Merceron and his skilled team rely on gentle pressing, cool fermentation, and maturation on the fine lees, ensuring that each drop retains vibrancy, texture, and expressive character emblematic of the region. The result is a wine that perfectly encapsulates the refreshing precision and nuanced elegance for which Sancerre is celebrated.
