Domaine des Brosses
A Loire estate founded in 1875, about 10 km south of Sancerre. The Girard family took it over in 1973, and Nicolas Girard runs it today: 11 hectares across hillside parcels around Veaugues for Sancerre, plus clay sites near Humbligny and Morogues for Menetou-Salon.

Grapes & tasting notes
Grape varieties: Sauvignon Blanc 100% Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to avoid oxidation. No oak was used, but the wine remained on its fine lees for several months to add weight to the palate and round the finish. Tasting Notes:Bright and pale golden. A fresh, citrus palate has herbaceous notes of hay and nettle. Richly textured but with crisp acidity and textbook minerality. The finish is elegant with typical purity and refreshment of excellent Sancerre.
- White"Confidence" SancerreAOC · 2022 · 750 ml
Grapes & tasting notes
PINOT NOIR 100% Big and elegant scent of citrus peel, white flowers, blackcurrant leaves and pears with complexity from barrel ageing. The palate is dry and has a light fullness that harmonizes well with the fruity notes of stone fruit, citrus, black currant and gooseberry, elder together with the fine-tuned nuances of flint and barrel that linger in the aftertaste. There is a slightly bold complexity here that is unusual in Sancerre. Alcohol 13%

- WhiteMenetou-SalonAOC · 2023 · 750 ml
Grapes & tasting notes
It is a 100% Sauvignon, from an appellation close to Sancerre. An open nose, with notes of citrus fruits and white fruits, then with aeration of fresh pear. The attack is striking, salivating with aromas of white flowers complementing the fruity notes found on the nose. Good length and good persistence.
