 Sancerre
is one of a number of appellations in the upper Loire river
valley that produce some of the best Sauvignon Blanc wines in
the world. A cool climate and chalky limestone soils yield wines
that are full-flavored and distinctive, from grapes that are
just ripe enough to offer an excellent balance of fruit and
acidity. Known for their elegant richness, these wines are superb
at the table or equally suited as an aperitif.
Les Belles Dames is one of a series of single vineyard Sancerre
wines produced by the Gitton family. The soil of the Les Belles
Dames vineyard is based on "Silex" meaning flint-based
limestone. The nose is captivating with floral and fresh fruit
aromas. Smooth and silky impressions follow through on the palatte
which linger long into the finish.
An elegant, flavorful and reasonably-priced wine that can be
served with an enormous variety of dishes such as oysters, clams,
shellfish, grilled fish or lighter fish served with or without
full-flavored sauces, or other vegetable dishes where lighter
but challenging flavors are prominent.
