Hi. I’ve been following numerous wine posts and Channels - enthusiasts , master somms, collectors, aspiring somms, masters of wines etc. and I hardly comment. I would like to take the effort to humbly let you know that yours reaches out to a very accessible,e level yet u hit all the aspects in a very technical, professional level. In very lay man terms, you elegantly educated me on the difference between a SB from Sancerre and a SB in general. That having a body of water is not always cooling effect but also can have warming moderating effect to cause ripening. And great disposition and delivery! Please produce more !,😊❤🎉
Hi Jennifer, I am a wine retail seller in China and preparing for certifeid sommelier exam, your video is really helpful for my blind tasting learning, though in China Mainland that is not easy to buy all typical wines from importers. Thank you!
How would you compare the expressions of Sauvignon blanc from the Loire area as compared to Bordeaux and new world Sauvignon from New Zealand which seems to be very popular.
Hi man, just bumped into this video as it got recommended by TH-cam. I've just made a video about the difference in expressions between New Zealand Sauv Blanc and Loire(-> th-cam.com/video/W97XqlT-sCc/w-d-xo.html ) I guess it would be interesting to make on about Loire versus Bordeaux too. Hope you enjoy. Cheers :-)
Sancerre is a village. Not a region. And also an "appellation of controlled origin" since the vines are in the "official" area of Sancerre. But you already know that, of course. Great video.
Any evidence regarding the origin in the Loire? Genuinely curious, because the majority of literature I've seen seems to agree that the grape was originally native to Bordeaux.
Hi Tim, Our wine experts at WTSO say that According to Jancis Robinson, "contrary to common belief, Sauvignon Blanc is unlikely to come from the Bordeaux area, where it was first mentioned between 1710 and 1720..." "instead it is more likely to have originated from the Val de Loire in France, where its earliest mention appeared...in 1534" (2012, pp.952). "DNA parentage analysis also supports a Val de Loire origin for Sauvignon Blanc" (2012, pp. 953). Robinson, J., Harding, J., Vouillamoz. (2012). Sauvignon Blanc. In Wine Grapes (1st ed., pp. 952-957). HarperCollins Publishers. We hope that helps clarify your questions a bit. Please reach out to us with any additional questions or concerns you may have. Cheers!
I am surprised to hear that people automatically associate Sauvignon Blanc wines with Bordeaux rather than the Loire. I had always thought that Sancerre was pretty much ubiquitous, their marketing in the USA must be much less extensive than I had realised. Also, those glasses are massive.
Thanks for the video! I just wonder why they made a Vin de France instead of making an AOC if they wanted to focus on the terroir. Vin de France could be thought of as the opposite of the notion of terroir but I think that for some producers it's a choice made to create a very specific profile, I guess Franck et Sylvain went for something in that spirit.
Love it Jennifer, it's so clear and nice to watch 👍🥂

This was the BEST breakdown
on Sancerre I’ve ever heard.
Thank you for tuning in, Lucius!
Very well presented, congratulation's.
Great tasting explanation.

Jennifer, I hope you keep reviewing wines. I love watching your video but you don't seem to update much lately.
Vin de France are you serious??
has a screw cap as well, that and the grape variety being on its label, tells me it was made for export.
Hi I am friends with your sister and I work in Total Wine and I love your videos
i love voluptuous chardonnay
your review showed a lot of finesse= fine-ness🥂
