    This white wine is lively and full of fruit with pleasant mineral and citrus aromas. An initial vivacity on the palate, rounds off with a rich and well-balanced finish.

    La Camensarde is a collaborative négociant project of several growers in the village of Bué, Sancerre. These vignerons have partnered to produce a classic example of Sancerre blanc and IGP Loire Valley Sauvignon. Bué lies southwest of the village of Sancerre itself, no more than a few minutes away by car. Residing on the left bank of the Loire river, it is here that you’ll find some of the Sancerre appellation’s most famous and familiar names, including Massanois’ own Jean-Max Roger, Lucien Crochet, Morin, and Pinard. Through these east and south facing slopes it is the Caillottes soils - tiny fragments of coarse Kimmeridgian limestone - that lend a deep mineral complexity to what is the world’s most famous expression of Sauvignon Blanc.  

    La Camensarde offers vibrant citrus and stone fruits, backed by a subtle expression of white flowers and the characteristic stony minerality that is driving force behind top quality Loire Sauvignon.

    Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.

    Marked by its charming hilltop village in the easternmost territory of the Loire, Sancerre is famous for its racy, vivacious, citrus-dominant Sauvignon blanc. Its enormous popularity in 1970s French bistros led to its success as the go-to restaurant white around the globe in the 1980s.

    While the region claims a continental climate, noted for short, hot summers and long, cold winters, variations in topography—rolling hills and steep slopes from about 600 to 1,300 feet in elevation—with great soil variations, contribute the variations in character in Sancerre Sauvignon blancs.

    In the western part of the appellation, clay and limestone soils with Kimmeridgean marne, especially in Chavignol, produce powerful wines. Moving closer to the actual town of Sancerre, soils are gravel and limestone, producing especially delicate wines. Flint (silex) soils close to the village produce particularly perfumed and age-worthy wines.

    About ten percent of the wines claiming the Sancerre appellation name are fresh and light red wines made from Pinot noir and to a lesser extent, rosés. While not typically exported in large amounts, they are well-made and attract a loyal French following.
