Sauvignon BlancThe Domaine Denizot Sancerre Damoclès is an premium, single-vineyard wine from the Loire Valley in France. Crafted from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, this expression is celebrated for its crystalline purity, seamless integration of oak, and crisp mineral tension derived from the region's famous Oxfordian limestone and griottes soils. Damoclès was born from a desire to isolate a particular terroir, in this case the Côte de l'épée in the village of Amigny. This terroir is one of the so-called emblematic places of the Sancerre appellation. Particular care and attention to the vines are provided throughout the year. Upon arrival in the cellar, this particular attention intensifies with fermentation and aging in wood. The choice of Atelier Center France 600-litre demi-muids highlights the finesse, elegance and mineral purity brought by the Côte de l'épée. These barrels, steamed and endowed with fine grained wood, will underline this spirit of tension during the tasting, allowing the terroir to express itself.
