Tasting

To the eye

The wine is a bright, pale yellow with green highlights; it is crystal-clear and luminous, revealing all the freshness of the Sauvignon Blanc.

Nose

The nose is refined and expressive, revealing aromas of grapefruit, lemon, white peach, candied citrus and white flowers, complemented by delicate notes of flint that lend a lovely mineral dimension.

Palate

The palate is full-bodied, silky and rich. The generous attack quickly gives way to a lovely freshness, carried by flavours of white fruit, citrus and grapefruit zest. The finish is long, harmonious and characterised by an elegant minerality that is the hallmark of great Sancerre wines.

Pairing

This 2020 Sancerre from Clément & Florian Berthier is the perfect accompaniment to a Crottin de Chavignol, a seafood platter, oysters, a salmon puff pastry, sole meunière or fish in a sauce. It is also ideal with ceviche, sushi or delicately spiced Asian cuisine. To fully enjoy its freshness and aromatic finesse, we recommend serving it at between 10 and 12 °C.

Aging potential

Already a great pleasure to drink, this 2020 Sancerre will continue to develop favourably for a further 5 to 8 years, developing more complex aromas of ripe fruit, honey and flint whilst retaining its lovely mineral edge.

Your questions, our answers.

Could the sunny character of 2020 make this Sancerre too heavy?

The vintage description highlights full ripeness, but also preserved freshness. This 2020 therefore combines aromatic richness with mineral tension, rather than being dominated by richness alone.

What does ageing on fine lees bring to someone looking for a fuller-bodied Sauvignon Blanc?

At least eight months on fine lees is intended to add volume and complexity. This is worth bearing in mind if you are looking for more substance on the palate without giving up the finesse described for this cuvée.

Is this the right choice for discovering an expression shaped exclusively by flint?

Not if your goal is to isolate the influence of that single terroir: this cuvée blends equal parts grapes from flint and limestone soils. It is better suited to exploring an expression that brings these two terroirs together, without the description attributing specific sensations to either one.

What should I take away from the Hachette Guide star when making my choice?

The Hachette Guide praised the wine’s harmony and aromatic expression. This comment is chiefly a useful reference point if you value overall balance rather than seeking a single dominant characteristic.

Can you prefer this 2020 to a 2023 Sancerre based solely on the vintage?

The vintage alone is not enough to decide, particularly when comparing different producers and cuvées. For this Berthier 2020, the documented characteristics are sunny ripeness, preserved freshness and extended ageing on fine lees; you would need information about the 2023 in question to compare their profiles.

Mon français n'est pas excellent, mais Elodie m'a aidé par téléphone à faire un achat important pour offrir un cadeau pour le 60e anniversaire d'une amie. J'ai été très impressionnée par Elodie, et mon amie m'a informé que le vin était parfaitement emballé et livré par Elodie avec courtoisie et sourire. Merci Elodie - Tu as fait des fans aujourd'hui.
