Vignoble de la Reine Blanche Sancerre Jean Reverdy et Fils Domaine des Villots 1994
This 1994 white wine is produced by Jean Reverdy et Fils at Domaine des Villots, an estate with a history dating back to 1650. The wine originates from the specific vineyard site Vignoble de la Reine Blanche and holds the Appellation Sancerre Contrôlée classification. It was bottled at 12.5% alcohol in a 75 cl format.
Sancerre is located in the Centre Loire area of France, a region that follows the country's longest river and is famous for its historic Renaissance castles. The cool climate of the Loire Valley provides ideal conditions for viticulture. Sancerre itself is globally recognized as a benchmark area for terroir-driven wines, characterized by a diverse soil composition that varies between limestone, clay, marl, and silex.
The wine is made from Sauvignon Blanc, a grape variety that is deeply associated with the Loire Valley, though it is also widely cultivated in other prominent wine regions such as Bordeaux, Marlborough, California, and Washington. In Sancerre, this grape is the dominant variety for white wine production, reflecting the unique geological characteristics of the local area.
