The 2018 Domaine Christian Salmon Sancerre A.O.C. is very pale straw in colour. The first impression is of intense flinty, mineral notes verging on gunpowder. Being typically aromatic, the wine opens up with air, taking on more fruity nuances, in particular of ripe pear. Salmon Sancerre leaves one with an overall sensation of elegance and harmony. Serve as they would in the wine-making village of Chavignol with 'Crottin de Chavignol' (goats cheese).

Winery & Vintage Info

Domaine Christian Salmon is a family owned estate in the Coteaux Buetons, covering 15 hectares within the appellations of Sancerre and Pouilly Fume, in the Loire Valley of central France. For many generations the Salmon family has ensured production of the very best quality wine, and the techniques employed today are based on those of previous generations.

The bunches are lightly crushed as soon as they arrive to the winery. The must is pumped into stainless steel tanks and left to cold settle before the fermentation, which occurs naturally. The temperature of the ferment is closely monitored to avoid any possible risk of oxidation and to retain freshness and aroma. The wine is racked and a minimal addition of sulphur dioxide is made as required. The wine is rested in tank prior to bottling.

Domaine Christian Salmon is looking to preserve the typical flavours & aromas of Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre, and no oak treatment is involved in the production.
