Description

About Domaine Gitton: Starting with a small plot in the 1940s the Gitton family discovered and pioneered single-site, terroir-focused Sancerres, planted on what became the famous ’Silex’ flint slopes. Pascal Gitton is the current scion at the helm of Domaine Gitton. The estate began life as a 1.5-hectare parcel near Ménétréol-sous-Sancerre that his grandmother farmed in addition to running a bistro and épicerie. From these beginnings, the total of the family’s various holdings is now close to 27 hectares.
These sites have since become celebrated thanks to the likes of Francois Cotat and Didier Dagueneau. Indeed Dagueneau cited Gitton as his inspiration, with Pascal passing on his philosophy and knowledge to the famed producer in the early 1990s.
“Why should my Sancerre cost more than a Pessac Leognan Cru Classé; I am a Sancerre producer, I make wines that used to be sold in jugs!”. In all this is an incredible story, matched by sensational quality and we strongly urge anyone who enjoys serious white wine to sample Domaine Gitton.

Description: Classic mineral depth from the Loire Valley region. Crisp aromas of gooseberry, elderflower and a hint of citric orange zest. The wine portrays perfectly the terroir of the Pouilly sur Loire region. Fine and elegant. Perfect with goats cheese, asparagus and delicate fish dishes.

Alcohol: 13%
