Winemaking
Franck MILLET estate benefits from the "savoir-faire" of three generations of winemakers. Our constant goal is to achieve the finest balance and greatest typicity for each and every vintage. Grapes and must are rigorously selected for optimal quality.
Static racking of the must.
Slow, low temperature alcoholic fermentation in thermoregulated
stainless steel vats for 7 to 10 weeks.
No malolactic fermentation.
Stirring of the lees for 3 to 5 weeks.
Light filtration.
Nose
Powerful nose with aromatic qualities developing in the following months. Very representative of the limestone-clay soil found in our village of Bué.
Palate
Good acidity from the young vintage while a the same time displaying a surprising suppleness and roundness. Very long on the palate. Very good evolution after several months.
Appearance
Clear, brilliant pale gold hue.
Food Pairing
Sancerre Blanc makes an excellent aperitif and a wonderful accompaniment for fish, crustaceans or the famous local "Crottin de Chavignol" goat cheese. Well matured vintages will pair well with foie gras.
