Domaine de Jouan Sancerre Blanc 2024Domaine de Jouan is a family run estate in the heart of the Loire Valley, where generations have dedicated themselves to producing elegant, terroir driven wines. Their Sancerre Blanc epitomises the regions reputation for precision and finesse, drawing on limestone and flint soils that give Sauvignon Blanc its hallmark minerality. The 2024 vintage is wonderfully expressive, offering bright aromas of citrus, white peach and freshly cut herbs,
