Dominique Roger (Domaine du Carrou) Sancerre La Jouline 2023 NO20230816 and Boal—grapes that were onLa Jouline honors the Roger family's multi generational commitment to Sancerre's limestone terraces. The wine emerges from the unmistakably stony Caillottes soils found in parcels around Bu, where fine limestone minerality and elegant structure define the character. Pure Sauvignon Blanc expression with citrus, white flowers, and a chalky spine that lingers on the finish.
