(375ML) 2025 Comte-Lafond, Sancerre -375ML

From the Ladoucette family, Comte Lafond is a polished expression of Sancerre, combining the appellation’s characteristic freshness and mineral drive with an appealing breadth of fruit. The 2025 offers clarity and energy, balancing citrus and orchard fruit with the cool, stony character that gives serious Sancerre its distinctive edge.

Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc.

Tasting Notes: Bright citrus leads into white peach, pear and subtle herbal notes, with a restrained mineral character underneath. The palate is lively and refreshing, carrying ripe fruit through a clean, dry and persistent finish.

Structure: Crisp acidity provides definition and lift, while a gently rounded mid-palate gives the wine satisfying presence without sacrificing precision.

Drink Window: 2026–2030. The 375ML format is particularly well suited to enjoying this Sancerre while its fruit, freshness and aromatic character remain at the forefront.

Decanting: No extended decanting is necessary. Serve well chilled but not icy, allowing a few minutes in the glass for the aromatics and mineral nuances to emerge.

The half-bottle format makes Comte Lafond especially useful for an aperitif, a seafood course or dinner for one or two, offering the pleasure of a serious Sancerre without opening a full bottle. Its combination of freshness, polished fruit and mineral definition makes it a natural partner for oysters, shellfish, grilled fish and Loire goat cheeses.
