Gerard et Hubert Thirot Domaine de la Tonnellerie Sancerre

In the limestone-rich vineyards of Bué in Sancerre, Gerard & Hubert Thirot quietly shape a sauvignon blanc of striking clarity and deliciousness. Domaine de la Tonnellerie opens with citrus blossom, white peach, and flinty minerality, finishing taut, citrus-fresh, and finely etched. A classic Loire expression of white wine — elegant, rather than loud — made for oysters, chèvre, and long evenings sharing a table with friends.
