Domaine Michel Thomas Sancerre 2016

With a host of top awards, the Michel Thomas estate is clearly making some of Sancerre’s finest wines. It has been two decades since we introduced this white to our customers and it is still a bestseller. The small, family run property is in the commune of Sury en Vaux near the town of Sancerre. The estate’s sloping, chalk-rich vineyards enjoy the best possible aspect to the sun, and this and their meticulous vine management ensure their Sauvignon grapes always display great intensity of flavour. Michel’s son Laurent has crafted a superb, focused, citrus charged wine in the top quality 2016 vintage. The perfect balance between ripeness and crisp acidity makes this an excellent dinner party white, with poached fish, oysters or goat’s cheese.
