	Sancerre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sancerre is a town and commune of the Cher département, in central France.
		It is a medieval hilltop town overlooking the Loire River in the former province of Berry.
		Sancerre was also the site of the infamous Siege of Sancerre (1572-1573) during the Wars of Religion where the Huguenot population held out for nearly eight months against the Catholic forces of the king.

		The history of the Sancerre vineyards goes back almost a thousand years, for it was in 11th and 12th centuries that monks in the surrounding districts began to cultivate vines.
		Sancerre, in the department of Cher, 125 miles south of Paris, is a region of low rugged hills between 650 feet and 1300 feet high.
		Today The Château de Sancerre is still owned by the Société des Produits Marnier-Lapostolle, also producers of the famous Grand Marnier liqueurs and by a twist of fate, also owners of the Château de Bourg Charente.

	Michel Redde Sancerre Les Tuilières
		The Sancerre appellation is characterized by three soil types: the "caillottes," pebbly chalk and limestone soils; the "terres blanches," chalky clay and marl soils; and the "argilo-calcaire," limestone, clay and silaceous sandy soils.
		Acidity is an essential element to the character of Sancerre, and in summers of insufficient sunlight to fully ripen the grapes, their elevated acidity requires a degree of malolactic fermentation.
		Michel Redde Sancerre shows the aromatic herb and spice fragrance of the Sauvignon Blanc grape which is confirmed on the palate with bracing, crisp white fruit flavors supported by a nervy acidity.

		The town of Sancerre is a remarkable landmark.
		Properly speaking I should say the "city" of Sancerre because, although there are less than 2.000 inhabitants, it was granted a city charter in medieval times.
		Sancerre and the surrounding scenery is protected under national and European preservation laws.

		Sancerre, the wine region, surrounds the town and consists of 14 communes, encompassing numerous microclimates.
		For many years, Sancerre was thought of as the white equivalent of Beaujolais - light to medium-bodied in style, and enjoyable either as a solo sipper or with a wide array of foods.
		On the scale of Sauvignon Blanc "raciness," Sancerre wines fall somewhere between the fruit-forward bottlings of California, and the herb-intensive renditions of New Zealand.

		Sancerre is one of the best-known whites from the Loire Valley in France.
		Made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape, Sancerre is slightly spicy and fruity, but crisper and tangier than other wines made from the same grape in the United States and New Zealand, among other places.

		Made for at least 1500 years in a handful of locales in this lush region, Sancerre is bright and sunny in disposition, lingering just a bit on the finish.
		Either description may fall short: the wine is tart, perhaps, but not quite as tangy as the former; and, though suggestive of citrus, it bears no hint of the latter’s bitterness.
		In the 11th century, an abbey produced a Sancerre wine that it served to the abbot’s friends with the blessing, " This wine gladdens sad hearts.

		Used for Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume, and is often made in a style that accentuates the grassy and herbal notes of the grape.
		Sancerre in particular is usually made to accentuate the grassy and herbal tones of the grape, resulting in an extremely lively, flavorful, and pungent wine.
		Sancerre is made much more herbal and pungent than most other Sauvignon Blancs, so be prepared to face a wild cacophony of strong flavors.

	Boston.com / Your Life / House & Home / A Sancerre substitute is more than suitable
		White wines from Sancerre and its neighboring Loire River town of Pouilly, which gives us Pouilly Fume, have grown so popular that it is unusual to find a bottle from either for less than $20.
		Their appeal comes from a lively combination of minerality and zestiness derived from the sauvignon blanc grape grown on the region's limestone soil.
		But while Sancerre and Pouilly received governmental recognition (appellation contrôlée) for their wines in 1936 and 1937, respectively, it wasn't until 1959 that Menetou-Salon received that accolade.

		--> Sancerre is located at the eastern end of the Loire Valley, on the western banks of the Loire river.
		The soils of these plots differ greatly but help to provide complexity found in Sancerre: the weakest soil is clay and flint, and has vines with the most superficial root system: however, grapes coming from these vines have good acidity and forward fruit that gives them a lot of immediate appeal.
		His yield is about 50 hl/ha (3.4 tons an acre -- normal for Sancerre) and the wine is fermented and aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.

	K&L Wines: 2004 Lucien Crochet Sancerre Rosé
		Red Sancerre is not as well known, though many wine insiders appreciate the more feminine side of pinot noir made here, showing deft balance between fruit and structure, ripeness and acidity.
		Pink Sancerre is more obscure yet, and that is shame, because when made as it is by the father and son team of Lucien and Gilles Crochet, it manages what so little roses can: subtlety.
		Fruit for this 100% pinot noir-based pink comes from the same Crochet holdings that are used for their two cuvees of Sancerre Rouge, the Clos du Roy and the Cote de Bue.
