Christian Lauverjat, Sancerre "Perle Blanche"
Truly remarkable: Made from very old vines, this wine has a golden robe and persistent bouquet of almonds, linden trees and heather. A wine both rich and delicate, with a savory and powerful palate. Great as an aperitif or pair with shellfish, fish, white meats and cheeses.
