This is a dynamite Sauvignon Blanc from a 5th-generation family-owned estate. Named for the region's famed silex soils, this bottling is lean and structured with wonderful notes of citrus, crystalline minerality, and lively acidity.

95 points Decanter: "Ravishing grapefruit, confit lemon and herbaceous florals encased in a flinty mineral frame and underpinned by a mouth-watering nectarine acidity. Clean, precise and wonderfully persistent. (DWWA 2024)" (06/2024) 92 points Wine Enthusiast: "This is a flirty Sancerre. Aromas of peach, jasmine tea, white blossom and dried orange peel layer in on the nose followed by tangerine and unsulfured dried mango slice. Balanced acidity competes with green apple on the palate and both declare a truce on the merged finish. (RS)" (12/2024) 90 p...

In 1995, Guillaume Reynouard purchased his first 4 hectares of cabernet franc alongside an old mansion in need of repair in the village of Le Puy Notre Dame. He began the restoration of the property and converted the vineyards to organic farming. Receiving Ecocert certification in 1998, the next hurdle was biodynamics. By 2010, the estate received biodynamic certification through Biodyvin.
94 points John Gilman: "The 2022 vintage of les Grézeaux from the Baudry family is a great bottle in the making. This is nicely measured in ripeness for such a warm summer, coming in at an even thirteen percent, but no doubt, the fifty-plus year-old vines here navigate extremes during the summer far better than younger vines. The wine’s bouquet is deep, complex and very refined, wafting from the glass in a mix of sweet cassis, black cherries, cigar wrapper, gravelly soil tones, tree bark, espresso and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is pure, ful...

The wines of Aurore Dezat are a regular feature in our wine club offerings, and her vibrant Sancerre is an easy favorite among K&L staff as well. Aurore makes wine on her family estate in Sury-en-Vaux, which was established by her grandfather. Before Aurore took over the estate, most of the fruit was sold off through négociants. She has slowly phased out the négociant contracts. The estate is more than just vines, with grain crops and farm animals also finding a home there, but for Aurore, the focus is on the wine. She farms organically and emphasizes th...

From one of the most hallowed vineyards in Sancerre, and made by the scion of one of the pre-eminent families in Sancerre, Dominique Crochet's Les Chêne Marechand Sancerre is a gorgeously expressive wine. This vineyard near the village of Bué annually produces some of the most complex and collectible Sauvignon Blanc on the planet. It’s got all the telltale signs of a great Sauvignon Blanc, prominent lime zest, gooseberry and honey dew notes, but it’s also got weight. The grapes are from an old vineyard plot, dubbed "Le Chêne Marchand." It faces south whe...

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "This wine has an aromatic nose of black plum, vanilla baking spice, dried white blossom and a touch of hay. Round on the palate, red raspberry escapes a layer of black fruit towards the end of the taste and revels in its victory on the finish that begs for another sip.

94 points Vinous: "The 2022 Montlouis-sur-Loire Clos de Mosny Monopole is a clay-flint-based parcel, and you can see that in its focus and line. There's flinty, smoky, salty reduction going on here, but it's well-judged and lends an extra layer of complexity, as well as providing additional tension. Excellent precision defines the mid-palate, but there's still a generosity and softness that lends charm with structure. Long and classy, it’s amazing that such a warm vintage can provide such togetherness and balance. (RG)" (05/2024) K&L Notes: Jacky Blot ...

Jacky Blot discovered wine as a junior pâtissier while working at a restaurant in Paris in his younger days. Eventually deciding to follow the winemaking track in life, he ultimately came to acquire the Domaine la Taille aux Loups in Montlouis-sur-Loire, some twenty years ago, and eventually added the Domaine de la Butte in Bourgueil to his portfolio. The two appellations both reside along the Loire and perhaps do not have the same notoriety as their kissing cousins, Vouvray and Chinon. But what Jacky does is extremely special and his wines rival the qua...

Importer's Notes: Domaine Tessier was founded in 1961 by Roger Tessier, with his son Philippe taking the reins 20 years later in 1981. They are located in the heart of the Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny AOC’s and currently have 23 ha of vines. The vineyard exists in a microclimate that keeps the vineyards cool, situated between the Loire River and the forest of Cheverny, Chambord and Solonge and has been Ecocert certified since 1998. Philippe believes that a wine should be the expression of the place from which it comes and should reflect the climatic condi...

Vigneron Felix Celard is a protege of Thibaud Boudignon. Following in his footsteps he takes a low intervention but artful approach to making complex and intriguing wines in Anjou. "Les Garenne" is 100% Grolleau Noir, an heirloom grape slowly gaining in reputation. Vines are 50-60 years old and all fruit is hand harvested. Fermentation is in tank and the wine is aged in a mix of tank and wood. Perfumed and aromatic with aromas of rose hips, plum and cherry.

Vincent Gaudry uses fruit from all three soils types in Sancerre--chalk, silex and clay-limestone marl--to make Le Tournebride, a rarirty for the region, and a boon to this wine. The chalky soils contribute perfumy grapefruit and lime notes, while the silex adds a smoky mineral dimension and the clay-limestone marls give the wine weight and structure. The result: A wonderfully complete representation of all that Sancerre has to offer--fruit, mineral and substance.

91 points Vinous: "The 2022 Montlouis-sur-Loire Clos Michet is a seductive, charming style with a silken texture initially—you can't help but be sucked in by it. And yet, it has surprising freshness and line with just 12.5% alcohol, tying it all together as it moves through the palate. Salty and floral notes join pastry and subtle smoky bacon, while oak tones linger on the finish. This is smart, pure and well-made.

Catherine Dhoye-Deruet took over the family estate in 1990 from her father. The family has been growing Chenin Blanc wine in the area of Vouvray since 1712. With five hectares in production and one more to be planted, the grapes are harvested manually and crops are limited to about 35-40 hectoliters per hectare. Her cellars are carved into the limestone cliffs in the Vallée Coquette. The vineyard management here is minimalist, in that the pruning is extremely short, and the treatments only when absolutely necessary. The goal here is to create wines which...

93 points Vinous: "The 2022 Les Blanchais is a finely textured style with precision and focus. This is all about its texture and aromatic restraint with fennel, citrus and oatmeal aromas. The 2022 offers excellent balance and ripe acidity with line and length. It provides a high level of concentration and innate power within its core. Lots of chalky intensity coats the mouth.

90 points Vinous: "The 2022 Sancerre Rouge is a gently styled, savory Pinot Noir with creamy red fruit and spice. It's light to medium-bodied with a richness of fruit on the mid-palate and succulent tannins. The 2022 is satisfying even at this early stage. (RG)" (07/2024) K&L Notes: The Vacheron vineyards are all close to the village of Sancerre itself and have been in the family for 9 generations. Today, this domaine is run by two cousins, the Messieurs Vacheron. Both have sons studying viticulture to carry on the family tradition. The vineyards cover...

90 points Vinous: "The 2022 Montlouis-sur-Loire Clos du Hochet hails from a vineyard with a very shallow clay-flint topsoil over chalk that tends to lose the sun early. The resulting wine is lithe in style with a firm citrus line. However, it has mid-palate weight and concentration that counters that linearity. Talc, white flowers, pastry and citrus flavors combine on the long, athletic finish.

It’s a finely scented, silken style that provides a mellow sense of effortlessness on the mid-palate before it structures itself toward the close. The chalky nature of the soil provides a fine coating of texture and structure, which adds persistence and line. It finishes long, calm and focused, with notes redolent of pastry, ripe apple and chalky citrus. (RG)" (05/2024) K&L Notes: Jacky Blot discovered wine as a junior pâtissi...

94 points Decanter: "Jo Landron is still undecided whether 36 months is too long to leave his wines on lees, but based on this, the results are fabulous. From the luminous golden hue to the long and powerful mineral finish, this is a gripping wine. Showing the characteristic smokiness of the site in La Haye-Fouassière, it has a firm backbone of fruity acidity and enormous concentration of flavour, but nothing is heavy or overdone. Savoury, saline and masterfully balanced. Biodynamic. (BB)" (09/2021)

The Crochet domaine evolved through the marriage of the Crochet and Picard families, with the latter family having commenced its vineyard holdings in the Sancerre district as early as 1765. It was the great-grandfather of Lucien Crochet who first installed that part of the family in the region and it was in 1934 that the first bottling of wines occurred at the domaine. The domaine now is under the direction of Lucien Crochet and his son, Gilles. Importer's notes: "The grapes for this basic cuvée of Sancerre are sourced from the vineyards in Bué, Vinon an...
