Langlois-Chateau Château de Fontaine-Audon Sancerre 2019 (93 W&S)
“Chateau de Foutaine-Audon is in the northwest end of the appellation, its 37 acres of vines planted in a band of silex soils on a south facing slope. The aromas perhaps owing to those silex soils, suggest grilled whole grapefruit, while layers of floral notes transition into a deep core of orange kumquat. The acidity keeps it lifted, sustains the wine’s succulence and depth with a refreshing, high-tone spice.”

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.
