About This Wine:

Domaine Cherrier is located near the commune of Verdigny, northwest of the village of Sancerre. The family Cherrier represents three generations of Sancerre winemakers, with 14 hectares of vineyards.

Our Sancerre selection is 100% tank-made, from vineyards that represent a mix of silex (flint) and stony, chalky soils. Vines are older, and low-yielding; the family also does green harvesting to further lower yields. This is classic Sancerre, with flinty perfumes, abundant white fruit and citrus flavors, and a clean, brisk finish with touches of sea salt.

This is a wine we could drink every day and never tire.  Energetic on the tongue with abundant aroma, this beautiful Sancerre delivers a textbook example of the verve and spirit that Sauvignon Blanc practically glows with when crafted by the best.  Fresh and pure, the nose is full of black pepper, sweet pink grapefruit and rose water notes.  A blissful combination of round citrus flavors and serious minerality; white pepper and oyster shells mix with lime and lemon rinds and ripe white fruits for a serious mouthful of Sancerre pleasure.  The 2009 vintage is amazing Sancerre at its most seductive!


Ratings & Reviews

Wine Spectator Magazine:
"Taut and nervy, offering tangy-edged grapefruit, lemon and lime notes laced with hints of chive flower and straw. Good length. Drink now. 1,000 cases imported." –JM (Dec 15, 2010)

90 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (2008 vintage):
"Pale yellow. Spicy citrus and orchard fruits on the nose, with notes of fennel and white pepper adding energy. Tightly wound, focused grapefruit and lemongrass flavors are deepened by a note of bitter pear skin. The finish is taut, linear and refreshingly tangy. Painfully young now and in need of aeration or another year of bottle age." - Josh Raynolds (Mar/April 2010)

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine (2008 vintage):
"A wine on the crisp, mineral side, bringing out some flintiness while also showing pear juice fruit flavors. There is a strong texture here, leaving a final tight acidity."  — R.V.  (8/1/2010)  — 90
