Domaine Michel Girard

Ripe and generous, with a real depth of fruit, aromatic notes and layers of green apples and lemons.

Producer Information

Domaine Michel Girard comprises of 12 hectares of vineyards. Terroir plays an important role at this estate. Michel, Philippe and Benoît Girard`s vines are planted on each of Sancerre`s three different soil types: Terres Blanches (clay and limestone), Caillottes (chalky limestone) and Silex (flint).

The brothers favour judicious blending of the separately-vinified cuvées to create wines with real complexity and balance.

Wine Making

The grapes are hand-picked and gently pressed, fermented at 18°C by indigenous yeasts in stainless steel vats - all to preserve natural aromas, elegance and complexity. The final blend brings together the different elements of the three terroirs to create a balanced, complete wine.

Tasting Note

A ripe and generous style of Sancerre with a real depth of fruit; the crunchy, herbaceous aromatic notes often found in Sauvignon Blanc have been skillfully restrained, allowing fruity layers of green apples and lemons to show through.

Food Matching

The wine comes from Verdigny in the heart of goats cheese country so is ideal with a soft, tangy `crottin`. Also great with delicate fish, salads and light meat poultry dishes.
