Wine from Loire

The Loire River runs right through the heart of the Loire Wine Region in France and has several sub wine regions including Valcay, Bourgueil, Anjoy, Nantes, Chinon, Choteaux, and Vouvray to name just a few.  With its rivers and hills, immaculate gardens and castles, the Loire is known all over the world as the most scenic wine region in France. The Loire is covered in limestone and is reflected in the building material of choice for grand chateaux’s, modest homes, and more primitive barns and vineyards, which are all built from creamy white limestone. The River itself is 1020 kilometers long as is the Massif Central to its Atlantic Ocean destination. The Loire features lush rolling countryside with a river valley making it perfect for vineyards. The Valley is divided into three sections that include the Upper, Middle and Loire sections. The Lower Loir is dominated by wines using the Melon de Bourgogne grape, while the Middle Loire is dominated by Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc wines. The Upper Loire includes the Sauvignon blanc dominated areas of Pouilly-Fume, and Sancerre. There are two generic designations that can be used for the whole Valley, Cremant de Loire, and Vin de Pays du Jardin de la France.

Les Demoiselles Sancerre Blanc 2024

Demoiselles Sancerre Blanc is made from 100 percent Sauvignon Blanc. 

The name "Les demoiselles" (translate as "The young ladies"), refers to the beautiful migratory birds (Cranes) that fly over the town of Sancerre twice a year (in the Fall going South to spend the winter in the African continent, and in the Spring going back North to spend the Summer in Northern Europe). These graceful birds offer a unique and impressive show when they sometimes land on the banks of the Loire River. The Fleuriet family wanted to highlight this exceptional grace and express an elegant and refined bouquet in this Sancerre Demoiselles cuvée.
The wine shows a bright yellow color with green highlights, a fruity nose with aromas of white flowers and acacia. Light-medium bodied in the mouth, supple and well structured, its concentration and crisp acidity make it a harmonious and food-friendly wine.

Pairs nicely with fresh goat cheeses, oysters with lemon, grilled lemon chicken breasts and Mexican dishes. Serve these whites at 46 °F (8 °C).
