Thomas Sancerre Blanc 2024 (half-bottle)

Michel Thomas Sancerre Blanc is 100% Sauvignon Blanc (40% Caillottes, 40% Grosses Terres, 20% Silex)

The wine displays an exotic nose with a touch of smoke and licorice. On the palate, peach and watermelon dominate with citrus zest and chalk notes.

Aged on the lees for a few months (no oak).  It goes well with seafood, fish, goats cheese.

Thomas Sancerre Blanc Cuvee Terre Blanche is made from 100 percent Sauvignon Blanc.

A typical Sancerre with citrus, honey, and flint notes, supple and fragrant. The palate is fresh, with grapefruit and lemon flavors and a pleasant minerality throughout.

Thomas Sancerre Blanc Terre Blanche was fermented in part Oak foudre (Cuve tronconique) and part 400-liter oak barrels for 18 Months.

Pair with grilled fish with lemon sauce, caesar salad with chicken as well during the spring or summer time.

From the caillottes soil type. 

A Sancerre fermented and aged in amphorae, straw-colored, with full aromas and a beautiful complexity: grapefruit, honeysuckle, orange blossom and a pinch of curry. A fine sweetness coats an expressive, dynamic and juicy mouth, with a zesty accent. Complete, persistent, its place is at the table, on fish with fennel for example.

A pure expression of Sancerre’s classic terroir. Grown on the appellation’s prized Caillottes soils — shallow, stony limestone mixed with gravel — this Sauvignon Blanc delivers exceptional elegance and vibrancy. The well-draining stones promote deep rooting and early ripening, yielding a wine with bright aromatics of citrus, white peach, fresh herbs, and wet stone. Crisp, lively acidity and a refined, mineral-driven finish make this the quintessential Sancerre — refreshing, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. Ideal as an aperitif or with shellfish, goat cheese, and fresh seafood.

Only 1000 bottles produced. 

Thomas Sancerre Rose is made from 100% Pinot Noir.

Vines are 20-55 years old.
Terroir (soil type) is a blend of "Caillottes" and "Terre Blanche".
Everything is machine harvested (which means it is 100% destemmed).
50% Direct press + 50% Saignée (bled) with 12-24 hours of skin contact maceration.
The alcoholic fermentation is done in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks.
Right before bottling, the wine is fined with Bentonite (very light filtration with oenologic clay).

Tasting Notes:
Light, bright pink. Redcurrant, strawberry and chalk on the nose, with a touch of singed orange gaining strength with air. Dusty red fruit and citrus flavors are braced by tangy minerality, which adds lift and cut. Uncompromising in the best way, finishing with excellent clarity and echoes of lemon and orange zest.

Food pairings:
This is a very versatile wine. You can have it on its own in the summer time as an apéritif. But it is also excellent with Hors d'Oeuvres and terrines. It will compliment any white meat dish and poultry. You can also enjoy it with salmon or exotic food (slightly spicy sushi).
