Sancerre is one of the most famous white wines in France. Sancerre is also a very nice village with a typical castle in the Loire valley.

Sancerre white wine is more delicate than close-by Pouilly Fumé. Sancerre matures a little bit faster than its neighbor.

Although wine tasters need to differentiate the Sancerre wines coming from marl terroir and the ones coming from limestone vineyards. The first are fruity and well balanced, the second are full flavored but less stable.

Sancerre is produced on 15 villages. The wines coming from Bué and Chavignol are the best.
