George Millerioux Sancerre
Bottle Size: 750 mL
Region: France
Light White Wines
Nicolas Millérioux is part of a contingent of young French vignerons who have traveled enough to see how the world's top appellations are going retrograde – returning to the best lo-fi practices of the past – and has now brought these techniques to his family's vineyards in Sancerre at Domaine Georges Millérioux.
Nico's goal is to define how Sancerre might have tasted earlier in the 20th century, before modern vine-clone monotony and industrial practices in the vineyards and cellar, and if his early work is any indication, he will surely be leading the charge as part of Sancerre’s new generation.
Fresh, crisp, zesty, good acidity, bone-dry - the best characteristics of the Loire Valley. Best enjoyed with goat cheeses, fruit and great company.
