Country: France / Les Romains
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Loire Valley
Winery: Domaine Vacheron / Sancerre
The name of the wine, the Romans, reminds us that Sancerre was once a Roman hilltop stronghold. The wine is crisply, tautly mineral, a pure expression of citrus and grapefruit flavors, an intense, beautifully executed wine. Worth aging for 2–3 years.
