2024 La Poussie, Sancerre Blanc, Upper Loire - 750ML

90–92 points — Early trade and regional critic estimates for the vintage.

Perched above the village of Sancerre, Domaine de La Poussie farms some of the appellation’s most distinctive limestone and flint-rich slopes, including the historic monopole Clos de la Poussie. The 2024 vintage in the Upper Loire emphasizes freshness and precision, producing a classically styled Sancerre that balances bright citrus fruit with mineral clarity and vibrant acidity.

Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc.

Tasting Notes: Aromas of grapefruit zest, lemon peel, and white peach rise alongside subtle notes of crushed chalk and fresh herbs. The palate is crisp and energetic, revealing layers of citrus, green apple, and delicate gooseberry framed by a saline mineral edge that carries through the clean, refreshing finish.

Structure: Bright, linear, and mineral-driven.

Drink Window: 2025–2032.

Decanting:
Typically not required, though a brief 10–15 minutes of aeration in the glass can help the citrus and mineral aromatics open fully when young.

Elegant and versatile, the 2024 Sancerre from La Poussie captures the purity and terroir-driven character that define the appellation. It is equally at home alongside fresh seafood and chèvre or served as a refined aperitif, offering both immediacy and the ability to develop added complexity over several years in the cellar.
