Domaine Durand Sancerre 2022

91 Points Jeb Dunnuck
Salted citrus, crushed stone, pear, and white flower notes all emerge from the 2022 Sancerre Blanc, a very clean, medium-bodied, crisp, racy white that has bright acidity while staying balanced and textured. Bottled after just three months in concrete, drink this juicy, vibrant white over the coming couple of years.

Domaine Durand is a family estate where 3 generations of passionate winegrowers work together, allying experience, tradition and modernity. Offering high-quality, authentic wines that are respectful and representative of their appellation is the Durand family’s philosophy. Located in the “Les Epsailles” hamlet, in the commune of Crézancy-en-Sancerre, Domaine Durand’s vineyards cover a surface area of 35 hectares (85 acres) on the neighboring appellation, Menetou-Salon. Calcareous sediment, rich in shells and little oysters give Sauvignon Blanc its true identity.
