Gitton Pere et Fils Sancerre Silex Galinot 2022 - diskuze

Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant, but best to open it half an hour before service. Founded in 1945, initially with the simple intention of supplying wines for the small family bistro, the Gitton Pere et Fils domaine today owns approximately 33 hectares of vineyards spread across the prestigious Loire Valley in France, from which it produces excellent white and red wines. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes come exclusively from the Galinot vineyard, planted in 1959 on a slope approximately 220-330 meters above sea level with a 25% gradient and east exposure. The vines benefit from siliceous soil. After manual harvesting, approximately three-quarters of the wine is vinified and aged for approximately 10 months in Croatian oak demi-muids, and the remainder in 600-liter French oak barrels, before blending and aging in stainless steel. The result is a characterful wine with an intense color and golden hues. On the nose, it reveals a broad and mature aromatic profile with notes of stone fruit and quince, candied papaya, and beeswax on a light undertone of sweet spices. On the palate, it is juicy and medium-bodied, generous and fresh with a distinctive and well-balanced acidity and the minerality typical of Sancerre wines. The finish is long and invigorating. Try it with scallop risotto, grilled seabass, or foie gras escalope.
