La Demoiselle, a cuvee from a deep flinty clay terroir on the peak of Sancerre, in the heart of the appellation. This 100% Sauvignon white wine, with its saline flavours on a background of pink grapefruit, is a combination of pleasurable contrasts. Its refreshing crystalline palate is set off by subtle oaky notes and has more than a hint of gunflint about it. Accompanying hot oysters, blanquette of veal, sauteed turkey with sweet paprika or a lightly warmed tarte tatin, La Demoiselle will reveal its full depth and richness with the passage of time and be at its very best after several years laying down.
