LOIRE VALLEY
Domaine Denizot
On the left bank of the Loire, Sauvignon Blanc shines.
For 8 generations, this family estate has produced exceptional wines with Thibauld Denizot at the helm. Assisted by his parents Chantal and Christian, and wife Jennifer the domaine spreads over 19 hectares, growing 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Pinot Noir grapes. Thibauld's philosophy as a winemaker stands out for the utmost respect of the vines and the soils they grow in.
Organically farmed, his interventions are minimal allowing the natural flavours of the grapes to shine creating crisp, fresh wines with lovely mineral tension enhanced by the limestone soil (caillottes) specific to the region.
The white Sancerre is the perfect expression of Sauvignon Blanc, well-balanced and lively with hints of juicy white-fleshed fruit.
The rosé Sancerre is 100% Pinot Noir with fresh, crisp aromas of strawberry and cherry. Extremely limited with only 20 cases available, this elegant rosé is the perfect ‘I deserve this’ wine.
Truly one of our favourites, Domaine Denizot produces elegant and vibrant Sancerre of all colours to be savoured and shared.
What to expect
Sancerre
Sancerre, 2022
100% Sauvignon Blanc
​
Tasting Notes
A bouquet of lime and lemon peel, gooseberries, pear, starfruit, straw and crushed rock minerality leads way to a mineral driven, zippy palate with vegetal layers and a nice mid-palate weight.
​
Pouilly-Fumé
Pouilly-Fumé, 2020
100% Sauvignon Blanc
​
Tasting Notes
Fruit is similar however, more tart than its neighbouring Sancerre with classic citrus and tropical fruits. The signature smoky character comes from the flinty-clay soils that produce a more tense and mineral style of Sauvignon Blanc.

Tasting Notes
Damoclès is a wine endowed with a particular power and tension. Ripe passionfruit, peaches and a hint of vanilla and chalky minerality dominate this rich and luscious palate which is balanced by its vibrant acidity.
