2023 Domaine Jean-Paul Balland Sancerre

£26.00

The Domaine Jean-Paul Balland Sancerre is a true reflection of the artistry and heritage behind the very best of the Loire Valley's terroir.

This 100% Sauvignon Blanc is a harmonious blend of nature’s gifts and skilled winemaking, resulting in a wine that is both refined and expressive. The grapes are gently pressed in pneumatic presses, extracting only the finest juice. Fermentation follows at a controlled pace, with natural yeasts and careful batonnage, allowing the wine to rest on fine lees for as long as possible, enhancing its complexity. The result is a wine that truly captures the essence of its limestone and clay-rich soils.

This Sancerre is a beautifully balanced wine, full of sun-kissed flavours and aromatic charm, perfect for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Tasting Note: On the nose, it offers a rich and vibrant bouquet, with bright citrus notes and hints of peach blossom. As it opens up, the aromas deepen, revealing layers of white peach, pink grapefruit, and a touch of honeyed sweetness. The palate is a delightful mix of juicy grapefruit, ripe peach, and a touch of quince, all beautifully balanced by an elegant minerality. The finish is long and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of fresh almonds.

Origin: Loire Valley, France

Domaine Jean-Paul Balland

Domaine Jean-Paul Balland is a family-run estate in the beautiful Sancerre region, where winemaking has been a tradition for generations. Jean-Paul and Magali Balland have spent over 40 years caring for their vineyards, and now their daughters, Isabelle and Elise, have taken over, bringing fresh ideas to the family business.

The estate covers 24 hectares, with 20 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and four of Pinot Noir. Each wine reflects the unique character of Sancerre’s diverse soils, from the rich and complex whites of the clay-rich Terres Blanches to the fresh and fruity wines from the Caillottes.

Jean-Paul is still deeply involved, now mentoring his son-in-law Julien, who helps manage the vineyards. The Balland family's commitment to their land and vines is evident in every bottle, making Domaine JP Balland a standout in Sancerre winemaking. Whether you prefer the floral notes of a young Sancerre or the mineral depth of a more mature wine, their wines capture the true essence of Sancerre.
