Notes on the Wine
Certified HVE3 Sustainable. Domaine Durand is a family estate where 3 generations of passionate winegrowers work together, allying experience, tradition and modernity. Offering high-quality, authentic wines that are respectful and representative of their appellation is the Durand family’s philosophy whose unwavering quest for optimal quality delights connoisseurs. 90 acres of sustainably grown vines in the “Les Epsailles” hamlet in the commune of Crézancy-en-Sancerre with 85 acres in Sancerre. Planted on slopes of the famed “Terres Blanches” (Kimmeridgian marls) and “Caillotes” stony calcareous soils. Harvests destemmed. Fermented 10-15 days with active dry yeasts and aged in stainless steel tanks at least 3 months prior to bottling. Vibrant, pale gold color. Subtle aromas of citrus fruits and white flowers along with delicate mineral notes. The palate is very fruity and full-bodied. A balanced wine with great energy. Excellent with cheese, especially nutty-flavored aged cheese. Pairs well with poultry, seafood, such as grilled trout, salmon, and shrimp, and mixed salad with olive oil and chevre.
