Jacques Dumont Sancerre

There is never a wrong time to drink Sancerre and I’ll fight anyone who disagrees! Give me a sunny fall Saturday and I have no excuse but to open a bottle of Jacques Dumont Sancerre to accompany my lunch. I feel like this Sancerre is the perfect drink to run away with, it’s an escapist wine. Perfect for the sweet reprieve of a Saturday that’s far from the memories of weekday struggles.

ORIGIN

Sancerre AOC, Loire Valley, France

Grapes

Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes

Pale golden color, perfect clarity. Open, fruity and concentrated nose (citrus and tropical fruits). Fine and expressive aromas in mouth. The balance of the taste appears when chilled.

Food Match

Very pleasant as an aperitif, it is also the perfect companion for seafood and fish such as salmon from the Loire or a Carpaccio of blue fin tuna. It will marry nicely with Perigord or Berry salads, chavignolaise salmon canapés or lentil croquettes with saffron and spices.
