✨ Technical Specifications
Les Eclaireurs Fragment de Loire is an artisanal expression of classic Sancerre from France's Loire Valley. Sancerre is famed for its complex soils consisting of silex (flint), caillottes (limestone), and Kimmeridgian marl. The wine is crafted from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, typically fermented and aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve maximum freshness, vibrant fruit aromas, and intense mineral tension without oak interference.
