The cuvée ‘Le Tournebride’ pays homage to a historic Sancerre tradition, seamlessly blending fruit in equal parts from the region’s three main terroirs: stony Caillottes from Verdigny, clay-limestone Terres Blanches from Sury-en-Vaux, and flinty Silex from Saint-Satur. The result is a complete, masterfully balanced portrait of the appellation that is at once mouth-filling, taut, and brimming with fresh energy. Rich in extract yet defined by remarkable finesse, it delivers an intense, complex palate packed with vibrant tension and a long, stimulating mineral finish.
