Tabordet 2023 Sancerre

Domaine Tabordet has 4.5 hectares in Sancerre, in and around Verdingy, 80% on Oxfordian limestone ("Caillottes") soils having flat, crushed limestone surface stones, and 20% on Kimmeridgian marl soils (Terres Blanches) having an abundance of fossilized shells. The estate is certified organic and Biodynamic, vinifies with indigenous yeasts, and uses minimal amounts of SO2. The 2023 Sancerre is clean, crisp and mineral, with a mid-weight palate and great energy. Not overly citrusy up front, there is a nice balance of bright aromatics and mineral depth that makes it a versatile option with or without food. The acidity is focused and zippy, with a textured palate that rounds things out in an elegant way. An incredible value for Sancerre!
