Château de Thauvenay is one of the rare châteaux in the Sancerre area. Its 18 hectare vineyard is entirely grouped around the château on a magnificent terroir dominated by limestone. With controlled yields between 60 and 65 Hl/Ha, the estate fruit is harvested in the early morning to preserve freshness then undergoes pneumatic pressing. Maceration in small thermo-regulated stainless steel vats with pumping. The wine is then matured on fine lees until bottling in the spring.

Chateau de Thauvenay “Terroir Calcaire” Sancerre is expressive with a dominance of tropical fruits. Notes of pineapple, lychee is well-balanced with a nice crisp lemon finish.

“Terroir Calcaire indeed because the white chalk aromas on this sauvignon blanc’s nose are unmistakable, uncanny and remarkable. The palate continues the powdery dissolve into liquid as a delicious flavour compound causing exactly the sort of salivation required to define great Sancerre. Quintessential and thus a spot on, Loire incarnate example with length for miles up and down the 1,0006 km, 171st longest river in the world. Drink 2024-2027.”
