Domaine Emile Balland 'Beaux Jours' Coteaux du Giennois Blanc 2023

This excellent Sauvignon Blanc hails from the heart of Sancerre, where the calcareous soils impart their characteristic minerality. The five months spent aging on the lees serve to gently mellow the wine's acidity, resulting in a delightful blend of fresh lime citrus, white peach and gooseberry notes, some varietal herbaceous notes and a touch of chalky minerality.
