Regular price $35.00
Unit price per
100% Sauvignon Blanc
The Dezat family have been tending vines and making wine in and around Sancerre since the mid 1500’s. Though it wasn’t until 1948 when 16th generation, André Dezat, expanded the estate and began commercializing the wines in earnest. Today, his grandson Firmin Dezat (18th generation!) continues to run the family’s estate. The winery owns 23 Hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir in Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé and Menetou-Salon which are farmed naturally, a rarity in these commercial appellations where conventional farming is still the norm. Born in 1989, Firmin Dezat is the perfect archetype for a young, passionate and enlightened winemaker.
Pale yellow hue with intense aromas of passionfruit, peach, and citrus, a floral-forward palate intertwined with citrus and a distinct mineral finish.
