Jean-Paul Picard 'Le Chemin de Marloup' Sancerre Blanc 2024 375ml

A precise, terroir-driven Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre, made from carefully selected parcels in and around Marloup, where clay-limestone soils bring both tension and subtle weight to the wine. The vineyards are worked with attention to balance and ripeness, capturing the cool-climate clarity typical of the Upper Loire.

Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel, often with native yeasts, followed by a short period of lees aging that adds quiet texture without softening its linear profile. The focus remains on purity and expression rather than overt winemaking influence.

The result is a crisp, focused white defined by citrus zest, green apple, and white peach, with flinty mineral undertones running through the core. Bright acidity and a chalky edge give it drive and length, leading to a clean, refreshing finish that reflects both site and vintage.
