This special cuvée is dedicated to Comte Lafond, an important historical figure linked to Baron De Ladoucette, and symbolizes the winery's commitment to raising Sauvignon Blanc to unparalleled levels of excellence.
The "Grand Cuvée" is selected from the best vineyard plots in Sancerre, where the limestone terroir and temperate climate of the region create ideal conditions for Sauvignon Blanc. These grapes, carefully selected and harvested at the optimal point of ripeness, are vinified with a technique that combines tradition and innovation, aiming to preserve the integrity of the fruit and enhance its varietal characteristics and the complexity deriving from the unique terroir of Sancerre.
The "Comte Lafond Grand Cuvée" stands out for its extraordinary aromatic concentration and its refined structure. The winemaking process, followed by aging in wooden and stainless steel barrels to preserve freshness and add complexity, gives the wine a richness and depth of flavor that makes it an exceptional example of Sancerre Blanc.
Visually, the wine sports a bright golden yellow color, reflecting its intensity and richness. On the nose, it opens with a complex and seductive bouquet, which ranges from lively notes of citrus and white pulp fruit, such as lemon, grapefruit and peach, to floral and mineral nuances, with an elegant touch of woody and vanilla notes that do not overpower but they harmoniously integrate the aromatic profile.
In the mouth, the "Comte Lafond Grand Cuvée" reveals a perfect harmony between acidity and body, with an incisive minerality that leads to a long and persistent finish. The complexity of the flavors, which faithfully reflect the olfactory bouquet, together with its extraordinary elegance and persistence, make this Sancerre Blanc a real tasting experience.
Ideal in combination with refined dishes of fish, seafood, goat's cheese or as a luxurious aperitif, the "Comte Lafond Grand Cuvée" is a testimony to the winemaking art of Baron De Ladoucette, who continues to set high standards for the wines of Sancerre, celebrating the richness and diversity of Sauvignon Blanc in the Loire Valley.
