Thomas & Fils Sancerre La Crele 2010, France

Rich Sauvignon bouquet and crisp gooseberry fruit on the palate. Well made wine with vibrant fruit characteristics.

The Thomas own about 33 acres of vines, dedicated almost exclusively to Sauvignon Blanc, the grape type of Sancerre. The soils of Sancerre are based on limestone, with small rocks, or caillottes, forming the top layer. These small, white caillottes mark the magnificent La Crêle vineyard. Located on a southeastern exposed hillside parcel, it adjoins the Perrière vineyard to the east. The vines average 35 years in age, and the site is characterized by its very high aromatic tones and minerality. All of the grapes are hand-harvested, and the wine is fermented in stainless steel. From a tasting stand point, it is clear that the wines possess exotic fruit and a wave of tropical flavors. The nose leaps out of the glass, bursting with bright candied citrus and pineapple aromas.
