Domaine Curot Sancerre

Tasting note Domaine Curot Sancerre

A jewel from the Loire! Pleasant nose that gives a grassy impression which is complemented by citrus fruit of lemon, juicy pears, and lime. The taste is delightfully refreshing with lively acidity and a brilliant finish. Bright light yellow color.

Food Pairing

Domaine Curot Sancerre is delicious with fish dishes, shellfish and crustaceans, white and green asparagus, and of course goat cheese. (tip: Crottin de Chavignol).

Additional information

Eric Louis is the owner and winemaker of Domaine Curot. He makes excellent Sancerre wines which, besides freshness, are characterized by a ripe style. The name Sancerre needs no introduction. It is the most famous appellation of the Loire. Its trademark is fresh and complex wines made from Sauvignon Blanc, usually produced by relatively small family estates.

A good example of such a winery is Domaine Curot. This 10-hectare estate is located in Thauvenay, a village in the southeast of the appellation, and is managed by Eric Louis. The style of his white Sancerre is quintessential Sauvignon, but by local standards, it is quite full-bodied. This style is based on good fruit ripeness at the time of harvest.
