Description
Sancerre allows only one white grape, Sauvignon Blanc, and the result is a dry, citrus-driven wine with a stony edge. La Baronne is the 2024 from Domaine Fleuriet in the eastern Loire Valley.
Goat cheese is the classic partner, since Crottin de Chavignol comes from a village inside the appellation. Oysters and grilled white fish work too. Serve it cold, near 48°F, and drink it in the next couple of years while it is fresh. It does not need a decanter.
Questions about Domaine Fleuriet Sancerre La Baronne 2024
- What kind of wine is Sancerre?
- A dry white wine from the Loire, made from Sauvignon Blanc in the hilltop town of Sancerre and its villages. It is sharp and fresh, with lemon, gooseberry and a stony mineral finish.
- Why is Sancerre so expensive?
- The appellation is small and its steep vineyards are expensive to work. Demand comes from around the world, so a Sancerre such as this one from Domaine Fleuriet often costs more than other Loire whites.
- Can Sancerre age?
- Most Sancerre is made to drink within a few years of release. Cuvées from older vines or better soils can hold longer and gain texture, though freshness is what people usually buy it for.
