Renaissance Sancerre 'Les Magie de Caillottes' 2023
Renaissance Sancerre 'Les Magie de Caillottes' originates from France, within the Loire Valley region and the Sancerre appellation. The winery is a collaborative project between brothers Mathieu and Benoît Fleuriet and their friend Stéphane Marchand. Their winemaking philosophy centers on a deep respect for terroir, utilizing organic and biodynamic farming to produce unadulterated, lively, and precise wines. The 'Magie des Caillottes' cuvée is specifically sourced from a stony vineyard in Amigny, planted in the late 1990s on calcareous 'caillottes' soil.
Wine Description
This white wine displays a golden colour with green reflections and a medium body. The sensory profile is characterized by an expressive nose of citrus and white floral notes such as hawthorn. On the palate, it is described as frank, straight, and well structured, featuring a high acidity and a distinct mineral drive that leads to a balanced, gourmet finish.
Varietal Composition: 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Stylistic Notes: The wine is fermented slowly with indigenous yeasts and aged for nine months in a combination of concrete tanks (80%) and foudres (20%) to preserve freshness and energy.
ABV: 13%.
Organic Status: Certified organic and biodynamic (effective from the 2023 vintage).
Food Pairing
The vibrant acidity and mineral character of this Sancerre make it an excellent partner for fresh and delicate flavours.
Seafood: Pairs exceptionally well with various types of fish and shellfish, particularly oysters, grilled sea bass, and scallops.
Poultry and White Meats: Complements herb roasted chicken or turkey prepared with a light lemon juice.
Savoury and Vegetarian: Suggested pairings include mixed salads, especially those featuring goat's cheese like Crottin de Chavignol, and grilled vegetables or quinoa dishes.
Cheese: A traditional match for tangy and creamy goat's cheeses from the Loire Valley.
