Langlois-Chateau Chateau de Fontaine-Audon Sancerre 2016 (90 JD)
“The 2016 Sancerre Fontaine-Audon (100% Sauvignon Blanc) comes all from silex terroirs and was brought up entirely in stainless steel. It offers a beautiful sense of minerality to go with clean, crisp notes of citrus fruits. With medium to light body, a great mid-palate, and a layered texture, it’s one classy Sancerre to drink over the coming couple of years.” – Jeb Dunnuck

The crown jewel of Langlois’ Sancerre holdings is at Château de Fontaine-Audon, a 37-acre vineyard from which they produce a single-vineyard Sancerre of the same name. 100% Sauvignon Blanc grown entirely on silex (flint) terroir, Langlois-Chateau’s single-vineyard Sancerre undergoes a gentle pressing, is fermented in stainless steel and then is kept on its lees for 6 months until bottling in April.
