Domaine Durand Sancerre

$21.99 -- A Stand Out Sauvignon Blanc from an Historic Region!

Sancerre tends to be less herbaceous and grassy as Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand and the Alto-Adige and Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Italy. Compared to Sauvignon blanc grown in Bordeaux, which are often blended with Semillon, Sancerre can be both more concentrated with more racy acidity. When contrasted with new world examples from California, Washington, Chile and South Africa, Sancerre tends to exhibit more assertive and mineral flavors.
