The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A discreet address in full revival, the Domaine Régis Jouan is situated on the flint and white soils of Sancerre. Comprising about 4 hectares of vineyards, plus an additional hectare in Menetou-Salon, managed with an organic approach, the estate produces frank and precise cuvées, mainly sold for export and in small quantities.
Wine The 2022 white Menetou-Salon delivers a Sauvignon Blanc of great brilliance, pure and finely crafted, without any oaky character. Here, we find the most striking dimension of the varietal: its mineral character complemented by notes of white flowers and citrus zest. A fresh, particularly elegant white wine, it pairs delightfully with raw, marinated, or grilled fish.
Vinification Mechanical harvesting, vinification in stainless steel vats, aged on fine lees.
