CENTER OF FRANCE

Sancerre is known for its flinty, savory Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley of France. The small town of Sancerre appears as the archetypal, bucolic French village. Situated almost precisely in the middle of the country, and perhaps because of this, Sancerre has been a center of French resistance since the Middle Ages. Huguenots retreated to it during the wars of religion and the Protestant reformation. Again, during the French revolution, the village was a center of the royalist rebellion to restore the French monarchy. During World War II, Sancerre was a regional command center
for the French resistance. After all of this, we can conclude that Sancerre takes “being French” very seriously. Pale and vibrant in color. Raymond Morin Sancerre is fresh, clean and screaming with racy brightness. Aromas of sliced
green apples, gooseberries, lime zest and lemon peel.
