Domaine La Barbotaine Sancerre Blanc AOC

Sancerre from Frédéric Champault – this is Sauvignon Blanc on calcareous Kimmeridgian soil, just as it should be: clear, mineral, without exclamation marks.

Domaine La Barbotaine is located in the heart of the appellation, on the typical Caillottes and Terres Blanches of the Sancerre municipality. Frédéric Champault manages the sites with the precision that distinguishes the best producers in this region – no oak aging to mask the origin, but steel tank vinification that lets the soil speak.

In the glass: lemon zest and white grapefruit, underneath a layer of green apple and fresh herbal spice. The acidity is lively but never sharp – it runs like a red thread through the palate and leads into a salty, long-lasting finish with a distinct limestone character.

Serving temperature 10–12 °C.
Pairs well with goat cheese (Crottin de Chavignol – the classic Loire combination), ceviche, grilled sea bass with fennel, or asparagus with hollandaise sauce.
