Domaine Neveu “Calcaire” 2024 Sancerre is a vibrant, mineral-driven Sauvignon Blanc that really shows off its limestone roots. Bright citrus leaps from the glass – think lemon zest and grapefruit – backed by subtle gooseberry and a touch of fresh herbs. On the palate it’s crisp, clean and wonderfully precise, with that classic Sancerre flinty edge running through every sip. The finish is long, refreshing and mouth-watering, making it a perfect choice for anyone searching for Sancerre with real purity and energy. Ideal with goat’s cheese, seafood or simply enjoyed chilled on its own.
