100% Sauvignon Blanc. “La Garenne” was named for the original plot from. Today, the name remains while the fruit comes from across the fifth-generation Girards’ 14 hectares of vines, spread over slopes in five communes. Farmed sustainably and harvest the steepest slopes by hand and the flatter sites by machine. Parcels are vinified separately, fermented with native yeasts in Stainless steel,  aged in tank and blended.

This  Sancerre is everything one hopes for when thinking about the region: it is bright, lively, pleasantly aromatic, has zippy acidity but low astringency. It is a wonderful food wine that is as versatile as it is easy to drink.
