Sancerre’s popularity is well deserved. It’s crisp, refreshing and dry — as easy to pronounce as it is to pair with food. Is it the world’s most complex or long lived wine? Nope. But a good everyday Sancerre is an essential kitchen staple, as useful as a sharp chef’s knife.
We love our producer in Sancerre — the Godon-Reverdy family is one of the town’s best known, and produces organic Sauvignon blanc of the highest character from their Domaine de la Garenne. They’re thoughtful and focused, using biodynamic techniques in the cellar and sheep to graze the grass between their vines.
And their product is every bit as good as you’d expect from a careful family domaine. Garenne’s entire lineup of Sancerres will appear in next Sunday’s April Futures release — today we’re focused on their simplest. The 2025 Sancerre Alliance cuvée is everything you want from Sancerre – splashes of perfectly ripe fruit (grapefruit, pear, lime) over a chiseled mineral core bursting with chalk and stones.
This shipment is scheduled to arrive in May, just in time for a long summer of enjoyment. Grab a case and you’ll be shocked how fast it evaporates from your cellar.
