Vinification of the Domaine Michel Thomas Sancerre Blanc The basis for the balanced Sancerre Blanc from the Val de Loire are grapes from the grape variety Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in the Val de Loire. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of flint, limestone and volcanic rock. When perfect physiological ripeness is assured, the grapes for Sancerre Blanc are harvested exclusively by hand, without the help of coarse and less selective grape harvesters. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the winery. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled. Food recommendation for the Sancerre Blanc from Domaine Michel Thomas This French white wine is best enjoyed well chilled at 8 - 10°C. It is perfect as an accompanying wine to baked sheep cheese parcels, spicy curry with lamb or spaghetti with yogurt-mint pesto.
