2020 Sancerre, François Millet, Loire Valley
2020 Sancerre, François Millet, Loire Valley
Our thoughts begin to turn to celebrations and dinners with families and friends as the end of the year approaches, and really good wine is naturally on our minds. A good Sancerre is a must-have, and François Millet’s 2020 is one of the finest and purest expressions of sauvignon around. With purity, freshness and a fine balance of subtle mineral notes, and pronounced ripe fruit, this is everything you could wish for in a top Sancerre. It's a very smart aperitif, and delicious with smoked salmon or oysters.
François Millet' vineyards are in the village of Bué, regarded as one of the top sites in Sancerre (west of the Loire river). It has become so well-associated with distinctive and high-quality wines that it is frequently referred to as a Cru of Sancerre a site of superior quality and exceptional provenance.
Tasting note:
This refreshing Sancerre has a fine balance of subtle mineral aromas and hints of newly-cut grass that make for an enticing nose. The palate is one of crisp green apple, citrus and a touch of tropical fruit. The warm vintage has resulted in a luscious style, similar to that of 2018, there's a richness to the palate whilst retaining the all-important hint of minerality and a racy, crisp finish.
