Domaine Pascal et Nicolas Reverdy - Sancerre - Terre de Maimbray - White - 2024

Wine:

Brimming with freshness, the 2024 White Sancerre Terre de Maimbray shows off crisp minerality and vibrant lift, laced with delicate wisteria aromas. You can feel the echo of the stony terroir in this enticing wine, bright with citrus notes and mouthwatering sapidity, carried by a lovely tension. It has the energy to age a few more years, but is already perfect as an aperitif alongside raw fish or goat cheese. Rated 92–93/100 by the Selection Committee.
