DOMAINE LEMAIN-POUILLOT SANCERRE 2024, Loire

Picked up a bottle for a dinner party and it was gone before the main course. The minerality from those limestone soils is unmistakable, giving it such a crisp, clean finish. Exactly what I want from a Sancerre.

Opened this on a Tuesday night and the limestone-driven bite hit exactly where a Sancerre should. That clay-limestone soil really shows in the finish, keeping things crisp without going sharp. Already planning to grab another bottle before summer.

The minerality from those clay-limestone soils really comes through on the palate—it’s crisp and stony without being sharp. We opened it with some goat cheese and the pairing was just perfect, honestly one of the best whites we’ve had this year.
