Description
The Roger family has been making wine in the Loire Valley since the 17th century. Their Cuv�e Gen�se Sancerre is made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes harvested, for the most part, in Le Grand Chemarin, which is one of the most famous vineyards in the village of Bu�. Look for orchard fruit, freshly cut grass, mineral and citrus notes in this wine, and pair it with poached tilapia with lemon and dill, or chicken with fresh herbs and goat cheese.

Tasting Notes
Sancerre is one of the benchmark expressions of Sauvignon Blanc, defined by the smoky gunflint minerality imparted by the area's silex soil. This one comes from a family with a winemaking heritage in the Loire that dates back to the 17th century. Expect a precisely articulated, classic wine with notes of grass, citrus and smoky minerality. Pair with white fish in a lemon-cream sauce.
