Domaine des Vieux Pruniers 2025 Sancerre, Loire Valley

Domaine des Vieux Pruniers gets its name from the plum orchards that used to be planted where Sauvignon Blanc is now.  Clay and crushed chalk over chalky limestone bedrock in the prized village of Bué.  Vinification uses indigenous yeasts, then fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks.  Delicate mineral notes of chalk and slate with good citrus and melon in the nose. Firm acidity brace this wine so that it will stand up to and marry well with fish, shellfish and goat cheese. Fairly rich in the middle with nice snap.
