Sylvain Bailly 2024 Sancerre "Terroirs", Loire Valley

The Bailly family has been synonymous with wine growing in Sancerre since 1700.  Sylvain Bailly brought Domaine Croix Saint Ursin to its greatness in the 1950s, and today, his son, Jacques, runs the estate with the help of his wife, Marie-Hélène, and their daughter Sonia, who joined the domaine as winemaker in 2007.  Based in Bué, one of the Sancerre AOC’s finest communes, the Baillys farm 19 hectares spread over 23 small parcels within both Sancerre and the nearby AOC of Quincy.  This is a classic styled Sancerre from Bailly’s vineyards in and around the village of Bué. This wine is jammed full with minerals, citrus and rich, melon fruit. This wine will sing with most anything you pair with it especially goat cheese and shellfish.
