Based in Bué, Domaine La Croix Saint-Laurent works old Sauvignon Blanc vines in one of Sancerre’s established winegrowing villages. The 2025 is a fresh, precise expression of the appellation, pairing ripe fruit with the mineral drive and restrained texture that make classic Sancerre so versatile at the table.

Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc.

Tasting Notes: Gooseberry, green apple and white peach are joined by white flowers and a subtle herbal note. The palate is crisp and focused, with stone fruit adding a little generosity through the middle before a dry, mineral finish brings freshness and definition.

Structure: Light to medium-bodied, with lively acidity, a gently rounded texture from lees contact and a firm mineral backbone. The balance favors freshness and clarity rather than overt richness.

Drink Window: Now–2030. The 2025 is particularly attractive for youthful drinking, when its aromatics and bright fruit are at their most expressive, though several years in bottle should bring additional textural and savory nuance.

Decanting: No decanting is necessary. Serve around 46–50°F in a white-wine glass, allowing the wine a few minutes to open and warm slightly after pouring.

The 2025 Domaine La Croix Saint-Laurent is an appealing Sancerre for drinkers who want Sauvignon Blanc with freshness, mineral character and enough texture to move comfortably from aperitif to the table. Pair it with oysters, shellfish, grilled fish, asparagus or Loire goat cheese.
