Garenne Sancerre Infidele 2020

There is something about the pure, clean, and chiseled character of a bone dry Sancerre that has made it the world’s reference point for Sauvignon.  Sancerre looks the part, too — the town perches atop a high hill along the upper Loire, and its vineyards spread out on all sides as they descend toward the river and its tributaries.

Garenne’s wine from pure flint soils is called “Infidele.” It not only has the distinctive smoky note, the clay gives this dry wine a particularly round and rich profile. This is as stony as Sancerre gets – if rocks are your thing, this is your wine.
