2021 BAILLY "TERROIRS" SANCERRE
2021 BAILLY "TERROIRS" SANCERRE, LOIRE VALLEY, FRANCE. 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
This terrific Sancerre comes from multiple parcels in the vineyards in village of Bue and extending into Sancerre, Amigny, Crezancy and Montigny with varied explosures. The dominant soil type is limestone/Kimmeridgian soils with hard pebbles formed during the Jurassic period. All the fruit is hand-harvested and fermentation done in stainless steel with native yeasts. The wine is aged on the lees in stainless steel and bottled the Spring after harvest. It displays classic Sancerre tart citrus, herb and mineral aromas and flavors, crisp acidity balanced by a delicate creamy mouthfeel, and mineral-driven finish.
About: "The Bailly family have been winemakers in Sancerre from father to son since 1700. Like most winemaking families in France who suffered from the phylloxera blight in the late 19th century and then the two world wars of the 20th century, it was only in the early 1950's that Sylvain Bailly began to prosper and grow his business. His son Jacques has been at the helm since the late 1980's. The estate’s name refers to a crucifix erected in honor of the Saint Ursin on the property in 1877 by Mr. Ducroux-Dauny.
Bailly’s estate covers 12 hectares and is spread over 23 separate parcels. The vineyards are located mostly around the village of Bué with holdings in the famous vineyards of Chêne Marchand, Grand Chemarin, le Château and les Chasseignes. A bit of trivia about the name of Chêne Marchand which is arguably the most famous vineyard site in the Sancerrois region: Originally it was called the Choix Marchand which literally translates to mean “a merchant’s choice”, because it was the wines from this vineyard that the merchants kept for themselves."
