2023 Steve Millet Sancerre Blanc

100% Sauvignon Blanc from three different soil types: 80% “caillottes” (limestone), 10% “silex” (clay-siliceous) and 10% “terres blanches” (clay-limestone). The 30-year-old vines are set on a hill slope 492 to 656 feet above sea level and are farmed sustainably (HVE certified) without the use of herbicides. This is classic, clean Sancerre with notes of green apple, peach, flowers and a slight hint of honey. Crisp and refreshing, with zingy acidity and a mineral-driven finish.

Situated in Bué in the Sancerre region of the Loire Valley, the Millet family has been making wine for over five generations. Steve Millet oversees the winemaking of his family's estate, Domaine Gérard Millet, which includes a total of 59 acres of vineyard, of which 47 are in the Sancerre appellation and 12 are in Menetou-Salon. He recently launched his own label under Steve Millet, to focus on his personal vision of site specific terroir.
