Thomas-Labaille Sancerre Les Monts Damnes Chavignol, Loire, France 2024

Sancerre “Les Monts Damnés” Chavignol 2024 is a classic, terroir‑driven Sauvignon Blanc from one of Sancerre’s most revered steep limestone slopes. The wine shows vibrant aromas of citrus zest, green apple, white peach, and fresh herbs, underscored by flinty minerality and crushed stone. On the palate it is taut and precise, with racy acidity, saline tension, and a long, chalky finish that speaks clearly to its Kimmeridgian limestone soils. Focused, elegant, and age‑worthy, this is benchmark Sancerre that shines with oysters, goat cheese, or simply on its own.
