Sancerre Chavignol 2024
Domaine Paul ThomasThe aroma is full of green and floral tones. Think of boxwood and white flowers. On the palate, clearly ripe fruit such as nectarine, but also citrus fruit. All nicely interwoven and a long aftertaste.

About the winemaker
The Paul Thomas estate is led by Raphaël Thomas and is located in the middle of the by far best village in the Sancerre appellation: Chavignol. The domain, like many other houses, makes mainly white wines from sauvignon blanc. Rapahël aspired to a different career, but when his father died suddenly in 2000, he returned to Chavignol, to continue the domain. In total, the domain makes about 90,000 bottles, 75% of which are white wines. Most important wine is the Les Comtesses of Monts Damnés, a monopole on the Monts Damnés next to, for example, Clos la Néore of Domaine Edmond Vatan. A wine with enormous ageing potential.

The must stays in temperature controlled vats at a temperature of 8-10 degrees. This allows for a slow gentle elevation and the specific character of this Sancerre. The wine stays 8-10 months on the lie. |
