Domaine Philippe Auchere Description
Domaine Philippe Auchere Sancerre Blanc is a classic and elegant white wine hailing from the esteemed Bué village in the Sancerre region. This remarkable Sauvignon Blanc offers a symphony of citrus, green apple, pear, and lychee flavors, all underscored by a distinct minerality derived from the unique Oxfordian Limestone soils of the area. Celebrated for its finesse and delicate character, this Sancerre Blanc will delight wine connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike with its zesty freshness and persistent finish.
The Philippe Auchere Sancerre Blanc opens with a pure minerality on the nose, accompanied by notes of green apple, pear, and hints of grapefruit, lychee, and lime. On the palate, this clean, crisp wine delivers an abundance of apple flavors and a subtle floral presence. A chalky grip emerges, adding tension and complexity to the fruit, while the elegant freshness crescendos into a long, lemon-soaked finish.
The versatility and elegance of the Philippe Auchere Sancerre Blanc make it an ideal pairing for a wide range of dishes. Enhance the wine's citrus and mineral notes with seafood dishes such as oysters, grilled shrimp, or seared scallops. For a vegetarian option, consider a fresh goat cheese salad with mixed greens, toasted walnuts, and a light citrus vinaigrette. The wine's zesty character also complements creamy pasta dishes, roasted poultry, and even sushi, offering a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors.

A classic Sancerre. The nose opens with pure minerality and notes of green apple and pear. Loads of apple on the clean, crisp palate, with accents of grapefruit, lychee and lime. Persistent, fine, and zesty.
