Domaine Denizot Sancerre Les Bouffants 2022
Domaine Denizot Sancerre Les Bouffants originates from France, specifically from the prestigious Sancerre appellation in the Loire Valley. The estate is a family owned property spanning eight generations, currently led by Thibauld and Jennifer Denizot. Their winemaking philosophy centers on minimal intervention and sustainable viticulture to allow the natural characteristics of the Chavignol terroir to shine.
Wine Description
Les Bouffants shimmers with a pale straw colour and subtle green highlights. The nose is intensely aromatic and complex, presenting a bouquet of zesty lime, grapefruit, and green apple, alongside notes of boxwood, elderflower, and fennel. On the palate, the wine is energetic and well structured, balancing a silky texture with crisp acidity and flavours of ripe pear, white peach, and nectarine. It features a distinctive flinty minerality and a long, saline finish. This 100% Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from a mythical south-facing limestone hillside in Chavignol known for its early ripening potential. The wine has an ABV of 12.5% and is fermented and aged in a combination of 600 litre demi muids and 350 litre oak cigars for over one year. This wine is produced using organic practices.
Food Pairing
The vibrant acidity and mineral backbone of this Sancerre make it an excellent companion for a variety of fresh dishes. It is a classic match for local goat cheeses, particularly Crottin de Chavignol. Suggested pairings also include seafood such as oysters, pan-seared scallops, or white fish served with citrus sauces. For more adventurous pairings, it complements lightly spicy Thai or Asian dishes, such as green curry or vegetable tempura.
