Pale gold colour with green highlights. A nose of small white flowers and citrus fruits. the palate is lively, mineral with hints of lemon.
Starting with a small plot in the 1940s the Gitton family discovered and pioneered single-site, terroir-focused Sancerres, planted on what became the famous ’Silex’ flint slopes. Pascal Gitton is the current scion at the helm of Domaine Gitton. The estate began life as a 1.5-hectare parcel near Ménétréol-sous-Sancerre that his grandmother farmed in addition to running a bistro and épicerie. From these beginnings, the total of the family’s various holdings is now close to 27 hectares.
“Why should my Sancerre cost more than a Pessac Leognan Cru Classé; I am a Sancerre producer, I make wines that used to be sold in jugs!”. In all this is an incredible story, matched by sensational quality and we strongly urge anyone who enjoys serious white wine to sample Domaine Gitton.
