\n \t\t Sancerre<\/strong> (Sancerre) \u2013 a small wine region in Central France, in the Eastern part of the Loire Valley. Known for its fresh, aromatic white wines from Sauvignon Blanc.\n <\/p>\n \nIt is known for excellent goat cheese, perfectly suitable to local wines.\n<\/p>\n \nThe vineyards of Sancerre are spread around the city on a hill towering over the river Loire.\n<\/p>\n \nClassic Sancerre wine is white, with lively acidity and a tantalizing bouquet of gooseberry, green grass, nettle and become a byword minerality.\n<\/p>\n \nSauvignon from Sancerre is not as straightforward and brash as it became the textbook extremes of this variety from New Zealand with their grass-a cat extravaganza (see the aromas of Sauvignon Blanc) or citrus Sauvignon from Chile.\n<\/p>\n \nA richer, more Mature samples \u2013 especially with the warmer Western slopes with limestone soils often exhibit a more fruity bouquet with notes of passion fruit and lemon peel.\n<\/p>\n \nBefore the surrounding area of Sancerre was better known lightweight red wines. And only after some time after the approval of the official appellation, in the second half of the 20th century it became firmly associated with the distinctive white wines from the Sauvignon. Today red here are made exclusively from Pinot Noir and is less than 20% of the annual release of the wine.\n<\/p>\n \nBefore the devastating invasion of phylloxera on the vineyards in the 1860s, the Foundation plantings were red varieties: Gamay and Pinot Noir. Whites were in the minority, and it wasn’t a Sauvignon Blanc, it was the variety Chasselas (Chasselas).\n<\/p>\n \nWhen you have found a way to fight phylloxera epidemic in the form of the Scion vines on American roots, Sauvignon proved to be more adapted to such an operation than were white residents. So he became the dominant variety in the vineyards of Sancerre: the coincidence, without which the region might not have gained such a popularity today.\n<\/p>\n \nChasselas is preserved in small quantities on the other side of the Loire around Pouilly-sur-Loire.\n<\/p>\n \nSancerre is located on the Eastern edge of the wine region of the Loire Valley, hundreds of miles from the vineyards of the Western part. In fact, it is closer to the Burgundy region Cote d’or than other key areas of the Loire \u2013 Anjou and Touraine. Just 50 miles away lies the Northern Burgundy region of Chablis, whose famous Kimmeridgian limestone soils are also characteristic of the terroirs of Sancerre.\n<\/p>\n \nIn General, the soils of Sancerre \u2013 the pride of local winemakers. They can be clearly divided into three types: chalky, gravel-limestone and quartz (flint).\n<\/p>\n \nThe latter is often credited with a role in the characteristic note pierre \u00e0 fusil \u2013 “gun powder”<\/strong>, which is a hallmark of Sauvignon from this part of the Loire valley.\n<\/p>\n The aroma of the finely ground flint or “gun powder” \u2013 the card of white Sauvignon from the Eastern Loire<\/p>\n \nThe aroma is so clearly seen in some of the local wines \u2013 especially from the Eastern vineyards close to the Loire \u2013 which according to one version, he gave the second name of Sauvignon Blanc Fum\u00e9 (literally “white smoke”) and the nearest competitor Sancerre, a neighboring appellation to Pouilly fum\u00e9 (Pouilly-Fume).\n<\/p>\n \nApproximately 2,800 hectares of vineyards dedicated to the production of wines of Sancerre. Almost twice more than at the time of establishment of the appellation in 1936.\n<\/p>\n \nThe wine industry in the Loire Valley in the last decade has experienced serious economic pressure, which was caused by a combination of not the most successful vintages and notable competition from New world wines. But Sancerre moved it easier than other areas of the region, thanks to the strong reputation and style of its wines that taste of modern consumers. This appellation continues to be a kind of “king of the hill” in the region.\n<\/p>\n \n Source: portal WineSearcher<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sancerre (Sancerre) \u2013 a small wine region in Central France, in the Eastern part of the Loire Valley.
