Martin, Yves

Domaine Yves Martin is a small family run estate with 8.5 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc in the famed “Chavignol” site and 3 hectares of Pinot Noir. They farm each parcel of their land sustainably and adapt a method of cultivation specific to each sites needs. The vines grow in each of the two famous terroirs of Chavignol “caillottes”, which is very stony and very chalky and also the “terres blanches”, which is mainly composed of clay and limestone. The result is a mineral-laden, refreshing blanc with citrusy lime notes and a lingering finish.

Sancerre Rouge 2009

Reviews
This has a lovely floral nose, with excellent cut to the tangy white peach, gooseberry and honeysuckle notes on the palate. The finish is long and finely tuned. Drink now through 2012.
