2024 Domaine Thomas et Fils "Le Pierrier" Sancerre, Loire Valley, FranceABOUT THIS WINE What makes this Sauvignon Blanc from Domaine Thomas stand out is the lush fruit character and texture achieved in the vineyards. Full and developed fruit flavors of citrus, grapefruit, crisp green apple, and wildflowers resonant from the glass. With great texture, a classic minerality lingers through the finish with crushed rock and refined herbal notes of balanced pyrazines (pyrazines express green, grassy notes) ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
