Sancerre La Chenaye Marcel Martin Gcdf

The La Chenaye Sancerre from Marcel Martin hails from the gastronomical mecca of the Loire Valley in France. This Sauvignon Blanc is light, crisp, and clean. It can transport a person from an urban sprawl into a countryside retreat with but a sip.

This wine is a summer afternoon neatly presented in a bottle. It is light on the palate - not overpowering in any way. It is very dry, thanks to the Sauvignon Blanc grape used, and it is quite acidic, but not overpoweringly so. To the eye: a pale yellow is presented with green reflections splashed throughout. On the nose: notes of citrus, green apple, and hay present themselves. On the palate: notes of citrus, pineapple, and mineras. You will be pleasantly surprised with this wine.

The La Chenaye Sancerre pairs perfectly with poultry, seafood, and strong cheeses. Try pairing this with a beautiful goat cheese, or blue cheese. A plate of fresh oysters dressed in lemon would compliment this beautiful wine perfectly.
