Bertrand Graillot Domaine de L'Estang Sancerre 2023

About the Winery: Bertrand Graillot founded Domaine de l’Estang in 2004 after an education at viticultural school in Beaune and stages in Gevrey-Chambertin, Pommard, and Chassagne-Montrachet, and the domaine today encompasses eight hectares in the Coteaux du Giennois and two hectares in Sancerre. He loves, in his words, “tender wines”—not a typical descriptor for the often unrelentingly linear Sauvignon Blancs of the region. Still, the wines of Domaine de l’Estang are deeply expressive of their place of origin, delivering telltale calcareous heft and drive. Furthermore, they age beautifully, given their inherent concentration and ample stuffing.

Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc.
