Langlois-Chateau Château de Fontaine-Audon Sancerre 2016 (91 WS)
“Lean and fresh, with thyme, chalk and lime pith notes that are bracing through the finish. Offers a kick of gooseberry at the very end.”

Loire Valley, France
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.
