Most Sancerre wines promise a lot because of the inherent prestige of
the appellation but ultimately fail to thrill. Not so in the case of
Domaine de Rome, a 100% estate fruit product. Domaine de Rome Sancerre
is quintessential Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc--the perfect
food-friendly white wine from the northern part of the Sancerre
appellation. Estate-bottled by owner/grower Herve Baudry. This family
estate dates back to 1920. The grapes come from 3 vineyard sites in
Sancerre: Verdigny, Sury-en-Vaux and Sainte-Gemme. Domaine de Rome
Sancerre is a soft yellow-green in color with crisp acidity.
Light/medium in body, it offers an aromatic nose of grapefruit, lime,
spice and mineral notes. Dry with no tannins and no oak, it offers
fresh flavors of citrus, honey, spice, minerals and herbal teas. The
wine has beautifully balanced fruit and acidity. It is smooth and clean
on the lingering finish. |
