Domaine Sylvain Bailly 2020 Sancerre Prestige White Wine

Experience the Essence of Sancerre: Domaine Sylvain Bailly’s Exceptional 2020 Sauvignon Blanc

Discover a truly remarkable expression of French white wine from the revered Loire Valley. Domaine Sylvain Bailly presents its limited-production 2020 Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc, crafted only in outstanding vintages from the estate’s most prized parcels.

A Symphony of Terroir & Taste:
Unfold layers of complexity with each sip. This exquisite wine greets you with vibrant aromas of crisp citrus and exotic fruits, elegantly intertwined with distinctive flinty mineral notes – the signature of Bué’s steep, chalk-rich hillsides. On the palate, experience a beautifully concentrated yet balanced profile. Lively acidity harmonizes with intense minerality and a surprising richness, creating a powerful yet graceful mouthfeel.

Crafted for Distinction:
What sets this Sancerre apart? It’s born from vines over 50 years old, rooted in the domaine’s most challenging slopes. Masterful blending combines juice from these high-altitude, mineral-driven plots with a touch from older vines in lower clay-limestone vineyards. This union delivers unparalleled depth: the upper slopes impart elegance and a pure Sauvignon character, while the lower parcels contribute structure and body.

Patience Rewarded:
Meticulous aging elevates this wine further. It rests on its fine lees for over 12 months, primarily in stainless steel (95%) to preserve vibrant freshness, with a subtle touch of oak (5%) adding nuance. Bottled only after the next harvest and released a year later, this extended maturation fosters remarkable complexity and a beautifully rounded texture while enhancing the wine’s bright fruit core.
