Bernard Fleuriet et Fils - Sancerre - Côte de Marloup 2024

BIODYNAMIC

Keywords : Maturity / Exoticism / Elegance

The wine : The Fleuriet family’s Côte de Marloup is a generous, refined white Sancerre, revealing a wonderfully luscious side of Sauvignon Blanc. Sourced from a vineyard parcel harvested later in the season, it offers notes of ripe citrus, apricot and pear, lifted by a hint of rose and tropical fruit nuances. This ripeness gives the fruit a lovely fullness on the palate, while beautifully preserved freshness balances the wine and carries the flavours through an elegant finish. It pairs beautifully with fish in sauce or goat’s cheese. A wine full of charm, offering a distinctive expression of Sancerre well worth discovering!

The estate : Located in Menetou-Râtel, right next to Sancerre, the Fleuriet estate is managed by Mathieu and Benoit along with their father Bernard. With great friendliness and an extraordinary sense of hospitality, the two brothers and their father produce magnificent wines where the terroir is expressed with great clarity. Covering 30 hectares (mainly in AOC Sancerre but also in Menetou-Salon), Sauvignon reigns supreme here, accompanied by a little Pinot Noir. The estate has been certified Organic since 2016 and Demeter (biodynamics) since 2021. Vinification is carried out with minimal intervention to allow the terroir to express itself (indigenous yeasts, minimal use of sulfur, etc.). The estate's range is varied and each cuvée has its own identity. The only common point: the quality of the wines !
