The 2022 La Demoiselle is a vineyard that faces northeast, so it's a cooler wine, which creates a firm, crackling style with notes of oak-derived toast joining the firm fruit. It's clean, pure and flinty. Concentrated and punchy, you'll need to like acidity if you want this. It won't suit everyone's palates, but if you like a bit of power and grip in your Sancerre, you're in the right place.
