Domaine Sylvain Bailly Terroirs Sancerre 2024

Domaine Sylvain Bailly Terroirs Sancerre is a benchmark Loire Valley white wine that showcases the elegance, precision, and distinct chalky minerality of the region.

Crafted by a historic family estate rooted in Bué, this 100% Sauvignon Blanc is drawn from a mosaic of chalk and limestone vineyard parcels. It delivers a pure, bone-dry profile defined by vibrant citrus, flinty minerality, and incredible balance.

Tasting Notes & Style

Fermented in stainless steel to preserve its crisp fruit purity and site-specific terroir, this Sancerre offers a classic, highly refined profile:

• The Nose: Brimming with intense aromas of freshly squeezed lime, green apple, white peach, and crushed flint, complemented by subtle notes of white blossom.
• The Palate: Dry, focused, and beautifully structured. A sharp wave of lemon-lime acidity cuts through a core of ripe orchard fruit and textbook chalky texture.
• The Finish: Long, pristine, and mineral-driven, ending with a lingering saline freshness that leaves the palate completely refreshed.

Best For & Gifting Occasions

• Perfect Gift For: Sancerre devotees, lovers of classic French wines, or anyone looking for an exceptional bottle for a special dinner party.
