Sancerre, Chateau de Sancerre, FR, 2025

Winery tasting profile

The estate describes the 2025 as showing:

• citrus and white orchard fruit
• hints of exotic fruit
• pronounced minerality from its blend of Sancerre's three classic soil types (silex, terres blanches, and caillottes)
• fresh acidity with a long finish

Recommended with shellfish, seafood, fish, and Loire goat cheeses.

Assessment

Based on the available information, I'd estimate the wine sits in the 90–92 point quality range, consistent with Château de Sancerre's recent vintages and its reputation as a reliable, well-made appellation wine. The gold medal from Mundus Vini suggests the vintage performed particularly well, though it has not yet been widely reviewed by the major international critics.
