The wine

La Moussière certainly, more than 30 hectares exposed to the south-west on limestone soil rich in minerals. The result, under the same name, is a Sancerre that is vinified half in steel and half in barriques and then rests in stainless steel for 7-8 months before release. A white wine with a linear, clean, clear and structured taste, which benefits from the organic and biodynamic management of the vineyards. Golden yellow with greenish echoes, on the nose it is citrusy, fruity, mineral, with hints of graphite and flint. A versatile white table wine, satisfying and persistent, capable of substantial pairings and of many years of evolution in the cellar.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The 2018 Sancerre La Moussière is clear and intense on the nose that needs some aeration to breathe and contextualize its detached, fully ripe and aromatic baby fruit and to exhibit its fascinating purity and finesse beyond. Full-bodied, intense and concentrated, this is a ripe, rich and still very fruity but complex Sancerre from 60-year-old vines in calcareous marl soils. The 2018 needs some years to become a real wine, though it tastes very attractive already today. Tasted in February 2021.
