Vincent Doucet Sancerre
WHY WE LOVE IT
Varietal Composition: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Elaboration: Traditional vinification in stainless steel tanks. Bladder press grape pressing and reception of the must in the tanks by gravity. Settling of the must 24-36 hours before fermentation. Slow alcoholic fermentation only is done, in order to preserve the aromatic qualities. A racking is done over 3 months later. Clarification and light filtration before bottling at the estate.
Tasting Notes: Pale, lemon green color, with pronounced citrus intensity. The nose is dominated by lychee, grapefruit and peach aromas; rich and well-rounded in the mouth, showing a pleasant acidity length.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
The Vincent Doucet winery is located in Plessis, a hamlet in the village of Sury-en-Vaux, located within the township of Sancerre. It lies within France’s Loire Valley 200 km south of Paris.
For four generations, the Doucet family has worked the farm while respecting the traditions of their ancestors from whom it had been passed down. In 1974, Maurice Doucet took over the estate with 40 acres of vines, cows, goats, and grain. At the time, the vines were still worked manually and by horse.
