Class: Spotlight On Sancerre Vintages, Soils And People

Cost: $50

Sancerre. Yes, it's the world's most famous and sought-after Sauvignon Blanc and even as a succession of small harvests keep pushing prices upward, demand for Sancerre Blanc is more than just steady - it's still growing!

Why the passion? Come discover for yourself as we share seven Sancerre Sauvignon Blancs and learn what makes this slice of the Loire Valley so special. Wildly diverse soils. A unique - and always changing - climate. A collection of some of France's most talented and passionate winemakers. And how a killing frost both nearly ruined the region and remade it into the Sauvignon Blanc powerhouse it is today.

We'll cover seven wines during the class, including bottles from some of Sancerre's most prestigious and important estates. The line-up:

• Delaporte Sancerre Chavignol 2025
• Gerard Boulay Sancerre a Chavignol 2025
• Vattan Sancerre OP 2024
• Henri Bourgeois Sancerre d'Antan 2023
• Alphonse Mellot Sancerre la Moussiere 2025
• Dom Pierre Prieur & Fils Sancerre Les Monts Damnes 2023
• Vacheron Sancerre La Paradis 2022

With the wines we'll be sharing some Sauvignon-friendly nibbles - goat cheese will make an appearance! - and loads of great information. Just 30 seats available, so if you love Sancerre, grab yours now!
