Loire Valley, France
Dezat’s gorgeous 2021 Sancerre casts a pale, green-tinged gold color in the glass followed by aromas of greengage plums, lime zest, wintergreen, gunflint, and dusty, chalky minerals. On the palate, the wine presents a riveting panoply of tart yellow and green plum fruit complimented by clean, classic Sancerre overtones of white pepper, nettles, chervil, mint, and freshly cut grass. Bristling acidity and an undercurrent of chalky minerality carry Dezat’s Sancerre to its long herb, citrus, and limestone-tinged finish. This is a superb, elegant, and authentic Sancerre to buy by the case and enjoy now and over the coming three years with fresh chèvres, poached freshwater fish dishes, oysters, clams, mussels, vegetable risottos, white pastas, and as a top-shelf end of day reward.
