Jacques Dumont Sauvignon Blanc is grown on the hills just southeast of Sancerre and thrives on the soils of clay-limestone and flint. In order to optimize the quality of each harvest, the vines are subject to constant observation: yields are limited to ensure high-quality fruit and the maturity of each plot is evaluated to identify the optimal time for harvest. After sorting the grapes, they are pressed slowly to extract only the best fruit. The wine is then fermented for two weeks at temperatures of 55˚ to 64˚ Fahrenheit, a technique that ensures the conservation of maximum fruit flavors. The wine is aged on lees until February to develop complexity and body along with a long finish. A succession of tastings then follows to determine the ideal bottling time for Sancerre.

Tasting Note
Pale golden color, perfect clarity. Open, fruity and concentrated nose (citrus and tropical fruits). Fine and expressive aromas in mouth. The balance of the taste appears when chilled.
Food Pairing
Very pleasant as an aperitif, it is also the perfect companion for seafood and fish such as salmon from the Loire or a Carpaccio of blue fin tuna. It will marry nicely with Périgord or Berry salads, chavignolaise salmon canapés or lentil croquettes with saffron and spices.
