At Arugula with Ellen and Dominique. Learned: Sancerre is located on the left bank of the Loire River, in the Loire Valley, right in the center of France (some 125 miles from Paris). Overlooking the river, the vineyards of Sancerre are spread over 7200 acres of rolling hills, with perfect conditions for cultivating vines. The same chalk famous in the White Cliffs of Dover runs down through Champagne and Chablis into Sancerre, where it is cut through by a series of small valleys, each with their own microclimate and terroir. The two grape varieties used in Sancerre are Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. The white wines are fresh, fruity, and elegant, the roses are delicate and subtle, and the reds are perfumed and smooth.

Love this Sauvignon blanc, crisp, light and just a solid white. It's a French Sauvignon blanc so it still tasted of minerals, but amazing was amazing.
