Moulin Jamet – Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2022
Sauvignon Blanc – Sancerre AOC, Loire Valley, France 🇫🇷
Overview
This bright 2022 Sancerre from Moulin Jamet captures the crisp precision and mineral clarity that define the region. It’s a polished example of how Sancerre AOC continues to set the global benchmark for unoaked Sauvignon Blanc anchored in chalky terroir. Descriptors describe it as bright yellow, lively, crisp, and dry—perfect summing up its backbone of classic regional structure   .
Aromas & Flavors
On the nose, expect fresh lemon zest, grapefruit, and green apple wrapped in spicy, grassy, and citrus notes  . The palate reinforces those hallmarks—with more citrus (grapefruit, possibly gooseberry), crisp green apple, and even bell pepper nuances—all layered over chalky minerality   .
Mouthfeel
Dry, lively, and clean with high acidity. The texture is lean and precise—medium-bodied yet energetic, carrying that essential Sancerre snap  .
Finish / Impression
The finish courses with citrus brightness and mineral lift. It’s clean, fresh, and leaves a pronounced impression of crunchy fruit and terroir-driven clarity  .
Verdict
A textbook Sancerre AOC Sauvignon Blanc: vivacious, minerally, and sharply elegant. Moulin Jamet’s 2022 hits all the right notes—lemon-lime zest, green apple, grapefruit, and that signature Loire flintiness. This one stands out as a stellar expression of regional purity, delivering approachability without sacrificing depth. Simply delicious! Cheers! — 24 days ago

Blackcurrant and leather notes. Very savoury on the palate - a little disappointing to be honest. See previous Delectable note. I haven’t had a lot of experience with Cornas and was looking forward to this because of its stellar reputation. I have a reasonable collection of Clape Cornas in my cellar which are not ready to drink yet. To be honest this was a bit underwhelming compared to many stellar Shiraz we are lucky enough to have in Australia. Hopefully the Clape, the Rostaing and the Jamet with time in my cellar will be impressive. — 3 months ago
In the sparsely populated camp that believes Condrieu can age. Sure, after a few years it’s less aromatic, showy and fruity, but there’s still more than enough lovely apricot happening, along with a lovely honeyed and waxy thing going on. More mellow and integrated and probably better with food — black truffle, asparagus and lavish amounts of butter. — 6 months ago
