Winephabet Street Season 2 S is for Sancerre

<p>Sancerre is a wine region located in the central Loire Valley. It looks over the river Loire. It’s basically known Sauvignon Blanc, but Pinot Noir also grows there and they produce a Pinot Noir and a Sancerre Rose.<br /> The Loire Valley is quite large and Sancerre is closer to Burgundy than it is the center of the valley. They were granted AOC status in 1936.<br /> The soil is what brings the complexity and minerality to the Sauvignon Blanc. The freshness comes from the minerality not the acidity.<br /> Listen to the podcast as Lori and I explore the region, the history, the wine and food pairings.</p>
