Region: Sancerre, Loire Valley, France (Sancerre AOC)
Grapes: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Body: Medium
Notes: Precise and electric. Grapefruit zest, white currant, flint, fresh cut grass, and a long, saline mineral finish. This is what Sancerre is supposed to taste like — pure, tense, and completely alive.
Pairing: Goat cheese, oysters, grilled trout, asparagus, or any dish that benefits from bright, cutting acidity.
Isabelle Garrault Sancerre "Les Grands Monts" is a single-lieu-dit white from one of the Loire Valley's most quietly celebrated small producers. Isabelle farms her parcels of Sauvignon Blanc on the distinctive Kimmeridgian limestone and clay ("terres blanches") soils of the "Les Grands Monts" site in Sancerre — a lieu-dit prized for producing wines of exceptional mineral tension and aging potential. Working with organic and minimal-intervention principles, Isabelle ferments with native yeasts in neutral vessels and bottles without fining or filtration, allowing the full character of the terroir to express itself without interference. The 2024 vintage in the Loire delivered excellent freshness and precision — ideal conditions for Sancerre's signature combination of citrus brightness and flinty minerality. This is Sancerre for people who love Sancerre done right: no oak, no excess, just the purest expression of one of the Loire's most iconic appellations.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
