These are two stupendous efforts from Luc Prieur’s Loire Valley estate that encompasses almost all of the many microclimates that comprise the Sancerre appellation. All three of the most important soil types are represented in his village Sancerre AOC, as are most of its exposures. The result is an immaculately balanced, benchmark Sancerre Blanc with great persistence, character and length. This is everything we love in great Sauvignon from its bright lemongrass and green herb character to its siphoned-through-silex finish. And, for the first time since the 2019 vintage, we have more than a few cases to spread around to a world thirsty for this wine. So get those warm goat cheese rounds and wild greens ready- Prieur is back!
