Domaine Chotard Sancerre Tradition Blanc is a crisp and dry white.
Pale yellow colour. The nose is fresh and grassy with subtle grapefruit citrus and white blossom nuances. The full-bodied and dry palate has a crisp acidity and good length. Refreshing lemon citrus, grapefruit zest and green apple flavours that close in a long saline finish.
100% Sauvignon Blanc. Domaine Chotard's estate is at the end of Reigny village, in Crézancy-en-Sancerre, with a cirque of surrounding hills of clay-limestone Kimmeridgian marls. The plots on these slopes are sunny all day long and the vines sink their roots into springs that run in the basement. The fruit for this wine comes from three parcels of vines grown on limestone, pebbly griottes and marl.
