Alex Chaumeau Sauvignon Blanc
Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc, kept small and poured cold in Commack.
The story behind Alex Chaumeau
Sancerre is the Loire Valley's benchmark home for Sauvignon Blanc, grown on chalky and flinty hillside soils in the eastern part of the valley. The style is dry and taut, with citrus, green herb and a stony mineral edge rather than the riper tropical fruit of warmer climates. It is usually unoaked and made to be drunk young and fresh.
We stock the Alex Chaumeau Sancerre 750mL here in Commack, a small allocation of one to two bottles. It is a clean, food friendly white that shows why this appellation has held its reputation for so long.

Which Alex Chaumeau is right for you?
