Description
Vintage after vintage, Bruno Prieur sets the standard for great Sancerre (five Golds in the last six years plus reams of press acclaim).

The key to the supremacy of his wines is intimate knowledge of the region. His family have made wine here since the 1700s (his great-grandfather first shipped to England in 1887) and he now owns prime vineyard plots on Sancerre's finest slopes, enabling him to assemble rich, complex wines eagerly sought out by true aficionados.

Pale gold, with piercing aromas of ripe gooseberries and freshly cut grass. Brimming with whistle-clean citrus fruit, a rich ripe mouthfeel and real concentration. Top class Sancerre with a deliciously long finish.
