Famille Natter ‘Terres Blanches’ Sancerre 2022

The Famille Natter Terres Blanches Sancerre 2022 opens with a crisp core of Sauvignon Blanc marked by citrus peel (lemon and lime), orchard fruit (pear, green apple) and a distinct white-stone minerality imparted by its Kimmeridgian “terres blanches” soils. That minerality gives the wine a taut backbone, along with floral hints and a fresh, focused finish—straight-lined but elegant. Regarding vintage and aging: the 2022 cycle in the region offered good ripeness and clarity of fruit, and thanks to the limestone-rich terroir the wine is built to age—experienced tasters note that top versions from this house will “retain astonishing freshness while evolving down to their elemental, mineral base.”  While it’s enjoyable now, cellaring it for just a few years will reward you with fine development and depth.
