Comte‑Lafond Sancerre 2024 750ML — Classic Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre, France

Overview

This Comte-Lafond Sancerre 2024 from Domaine de Ladoucette is a quintessential expression of Sancerre AOC—dry, bright, and mineral-driven. Crafted exclusively from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, it reflects the chalky, clay-limestone soils of the Loire Valley and the estate’s long history in Loire viticulture.

Tasting Notes (Hamptons Tasting Notes)

Pale gold with crystalline clarity, the nose opens with citrus peel (lemon and orange), white peach and pear, followed by subtle honeyed hints against a cool, stony backdrop. The palate is crisp and lively, with juicy fruit framed by taut acidity and a lingering mineral finish that evokes wet stone and ripe lemon.
