OVERVIEW
Geography
Sancerre is one of the great expressions of Sauvignon Blanc, made in any of 17 villages around Sancerre, at the upper end of France’s Loire Valley.
The best
Sancerre’s soils, as wine columnist Eric Asimov has noted, are similar to those of Champagne and Chablis vineyards, to the north and east of the Loire Valley. Where the grapes are grown may have more of an impact on the wine than the actual grape variety. "I find it fascinating that good Sancerre and good [Chardonnay] Chablis can have more in common than Sancerre and Sauvignon Blancs from California or New Zealand," he writes.
