THE TERROIRS A very hard silex sedimentary rock, that gives smoky aromas. A mineral flavour that develops over the years. A stoney and limestone soil that produces elegant and fruity wines. Very pleasant when drunk young. A stoney and limestone soil that produces elegant and fruity wines. Very pleasant when drunk young. Limestone clay soil making structured wines, good for long ageing. This Wednesday, June 20th, we will host a free tasting of the wines of André Neveu at Bar Ferdinand.  The tasting will be from 5-7pm and I ask you this: is there another region or style of wine that speaks to summer, better than Sancerre? Maybe.  But not many!  In their truest expressions, the wines embody levity, length and a true reflection of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.  Domaine Andre Neveu is a brilliant example of what Sancerre has to offer. We will feature four wines:

• Les Grand Fricambaults Rouge
• Les Grand Fricambaults Rosé
• Les Grand Fricambaults Blanc
• Les Longues Fins Blanc

A bit of info on the Domaine:

“The Neveu family have been based in the heart of the Chavignol vineyards for many generations, and today carry on the tradition of the great Sancerrois vignerons.  Valerie, André Neveu’s daughter, and her husband Thomas, now run the domaine that extends to about 12 hectares of AOC Sancerre.  All the wines are hand harvested and the utmost care is taken in the vineyard. These are the consummate terroirists.  The bottlings are all single vineyard, single soil type expressions of Sancerre.  All the wines are given the same upbringing in stainless steel, save the Mont Damnes, so that the individual terrior of each site may shine through. Domaine Andre Neveu, above all else, prize balance, minerality, and clarity of fruit in their wines.”
