🌱 Origins & Terroir

• Crafted by six-generation Sancerre grower Domaine Hippolyte Reverdy, with vineyards located in the heart of the appellation on classic Kimmeridgian (Terres Blanches) limestone–clay soils near Verdigny and Chavignol 

• Vines average 30 years in age, trained in a Guyot system, and managed under “lutte raisonnée” (reasoned farming) 

---

🍇 Winemaking

• Fermented and aged for ~10 months in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and 100% malolactic conversion, preserving freshness and texture while avoiding over-oak or heavy manipulation 

---

👃 Aromatics

• The pale-straw wine shows pure and generous aromatics of citrus zest (lemon/lime), pear, white flowers, and subtle white pepper, with a dusting of wet stone minerality

• It boasts an aroma that is “very pure… without grassy edges” 

---

👅 Palate & Structure

• Delivers a medium-bodied, crisp palate with vibrant acidity—zesty citrus, white orchard fruit, and a flinty, chalk-driven backbone

• The texture is focused and expansive, with a nervy quality that “leaves on the lips” rather than the throat 

---

🍂 Finish & Drinkability

• The finish remains dry, clean, and refreshing, featuring that same “lip‑smacking” citrus note and lingering mineral tension 

• Ready to drink now, and approachable through its peak window around 2025–2027 

---

🍽️ Pairing Suggestions

• Versatile and invigorating: perfect with oysters, shellfish, meaty fish (salmon, mackerel), vegetable tarts, light meats, goat cheeses, or as a lively aperitif
