    Sancerre

    Sancerre is known for its wine and local cheeses. The place has almost 1,800 inhabitants and is about 150 m higher than the nearby Loire. Sancerre is located on a hill and is therefore visible from afar.

    Sancerre gives its name to one of the most famous white wines of the Loire region.

    The floor can be divided into three zones. To the west (near Menetou Salon) are the Terres Blanches, the so-called white soils, made up of a mixture of clay and limestone soils. The soil is similar to that of the Chablis here are quite powerful wines. In the central part of the area, the soil is very gravelly and calcareous, which produces fine wines. To the east, near Sancerre, the soil is rich in flint. The wines are very fragrant and long-lived.

    The climate is continental. The winters are cold and the vineyards are at risk of frost in the spring. Only the proximity of the Loire and the adjacent forest, as well as the cultivation on steep slopes in favorable locations, make viticulture possible due to their moderating influence.

    Until the middle of the 20th century, mainly red wine and a little white wine were produced from the Chasselas grape variety. In the 1960s, only about 700 hectares of vineyards were cultivated. In the 1970s, the Sancerre became a fashionable wine, which was also often offered in bistros as a counterpart to the red Beaujolais. However, the huge popularity meant that a lot of mediocre wine was made. The situation has calmed down and the wines are generally of good quality, also thanks to improved cellar technology.

    Today, the wines are only made from two grape varieties:

    - Sauvignon Blanc: In 2002, 126,100 hectoliters of white wine were made from this grape variety. The wines are usually ready to be enjoyed when they are young, but can be stored for a number of years.

    - Pinot Noir: produces a light red wine (to a lesser extent also rosé wine). In 2002, 32,710 hl of red wine (rosé wine) were produced. The wines can only be stored for a limited time (text parts taken from WIKIPEDIA).
