Pale yellow colour with white gold highlights. Complex and intense nose with an initial balsamic profile (pine resin, beeswax, eucalyptus) which evolves into a floral profile (acacia flower, lime blossom) supported by notes of kiwi, citrus and macaroonTasty mouthfeel, juicy pear, but high-flying balance between soft fruit and acidicacidic framework. Intense, energetic, this wine has a real finesse of grain and a very subtle woodiness.
Food and wine pairing:
This great loner will be seduced by high-level cuisine! Fish, white meats, cheese...We advise you to serve it at a temperature of 14°, never iced.
The Terroir :
The côte des Monts Damnés is a very uneven and steep hillside of Chavignol with a southern, south-eastern exposure, with a soil of Kimmeridgian marl (an amalgam of shells and clays). It is
one of the most famous hillsides of the Sancerre appellation. It was planted around the 10th century by the Benedictine monks of the Saint-Satur abbey. As early as the 11th century, lords and notables were bidding against each other to own a parcel.
The etymology of its name remains mysterious. As early as the 11th century, the registers
of the lands of the seigneury of Chavignol mention the Coste de Mondanné or Mondannay.
This toponym evokes the difficulties that the winegrowers encountered with this very steep hillside.
Vinification:
After reaching maximum maturity, the grapes are harvested by hand and sorted into
in boxes. The grapes are put into the pneumatic press as whole bunches without crushing
pneumatic press, the pressing is weak and slow to obtain a clear juice of first quality. This
juice is then put into 600 litre barrels (1, 2 and 3 year old wood from the Forêt de Tronçais) for fermentation
years old) for its fermentation, the production being limited each year to about 22 barrels.
It stays there for 8 months after numerous stirring of the fine lees, a practice commonly carried out in the past, the racking, fining and light filtration at the end of September precede the bottling in October
bottling in October.
It takes a few months of rest in the bottle to discover its great potential
taste potential.
