2008 Sancerre, Domaine du Nozay
This characterful 2008 Sancerre (Corney & Barrow £13.99) comes from Sainte-Gemme-en-Sancerrois at the northern limit of the appellation. Produced by the Barons Philippe and Cyril de Benoist it has quite pronounced aromas of gooseberry and asparagus, mid-weight with the typical acidity and minerality of the 2008 vintage.
Comment from Corney & Barrow's website: 'Philippe de Benoist built Domaine du Nozay himself in 1970 and still manages the vineyards today while son Cyril runs the winery. His exuberant, single vineyard Sancerre is hard to beat with its ripe, grassy fruit and complex minerality.'
