2020/21 Sancerre "Mégalithe", La Perrière, France
About the Producer
La Perrière is a renowned producer in Sancerre, and "Mégalithe" is the house’s prestige cuvée. The grapes are selected from the oldest vines on limestone-rich soil and vinified with a focus on longevity and complexity.
Vinification
The grapes are hand-picked and gently pressed. The wine is fermented and aged in large French oak barrels (foudres), which adds structure and depth without overpowering the natural freshness of the Sauvignon Blanc. Long lees contact and bottle aging before release.
Tasting Notes
- Color: Straw yellow with golden hues
- Nose: Ripe citrus, white peaches, nuts, flint, and discreet toasted oak
- Palate: Full-bodied, intense, and mineral with layers of citrus, pear, smoke, and a long, chalky finish
Terroir and Classification
The subsoil of the vineyards consists primarily of "caillottes" and "terres blanches" (limestone and clay), which gives the wines structure and longevity. The name "Mégalithe" refers to the stone formations that characterize the subsoil around Sancerre.
Serving
- Serving temperature: 10–12°C
- Food pairing: Perfect for lobster, fried fish, smoked salmon, chicken in creamy sauces, hard cheeses, and fine vegetarian dishes
