2024 Les Plasire De Sophie Chardonnay VdF, Loire Valley, France

Fresh and gourmand chardonnay... With its magnificent subdued yellow color with a subtle glint of green, this Chardonnay is dominated by the aromas of fruits such as citrus, yellow fruits like peach and subtle hints of white flowers. The palate is wrapped, balanced and elegant combined with a zesty freshness.

No malolactic, no barrels, aged on the lees for a lengthy period, bringing both crisp minerality and rounded suppleness.

Her cuvée's were born from the meeting of Eric Louis, Sancerre wine-grower and wine-merchant, and Sophie Bertin, a woman deeply rooted in the Sancerre region. Sophie means wisdom in Greek, and Sophie shared not only her wisdom but also challenged Eric in their winemaking. “Dare I not?” Sophie often asked, and Eric would reply, “Challenge accepted!” Together they created a more feminine cuvée with suppleness, subtlety and great elegance. Sophie’s wine was born!
