La Clef du Récit Sancerre 2024
"From a village on the eastern edge of the Loire Valley. In 2012 Anthony had the opportunity, rather rare these days, to acquire an 8.5 hectare estate and to forge his own path, after time spent with the family winery. He follows organic principles in his winemaking. These days, everyone is intimately familiar with Sauvignon Blanc from our own regions, as well as New Zealand. Anyone interested in seeing how it looks, back where it had its origins, can do so here. Anthony's aim is to allow his wines to exhibit their purest varietal expression. Under an agglomerate cork.
Pale lemon in colour, the nose reveals an array of aromas including nettles, passionfruit, dry herbs, warm earth, peach pits and apricot skins. This is a wine of medium length with zesty acidity. It will provide attractive drinking for the next two to four years." 91 Points Ken Gargett, WinePilot.com
Domaine La Clef du Récit is the exciting brand behind young and ambitious winemaker Anthony Girard. The property is located in Sancerre, in a tiny village called Récy, at the very eastern edge of the Loire Valley, France. Anthony used to work at his family's estate before deciding to find his feet in wineries across the globe. Upon his return 5 years later he was offered the rare opportunity to acquire a small 8.5 ha estate and pursue the lifelong dream of making wine true to his 'sancerroises origins'. The name La Clef du Récit ('The key of the story') roots back to the moment when he was given a large key by the local press during the opening ceremony as a symbolic gesture for the new ownership. Ever since this moment Anthony reigns winery and vineyards with a charm, enthusiasm and authenticity that are certainly displayed in his wines.
