2022 Aurore Dezat "Evidence" Sancerre Rouge
92
Wine Enthusiast
Review Date: 12/2024This wine has an aromatic nose of black plum, vanilla baking spice, dried white blossom and a touch of hay. Round on the palate, red raspberry escapes a layer of black fruit towards the end of the taste and revels in its victory on the finish that begs for another sip. (RS)

Notes
The wines of Aurore Dezat are a regular feature in our wine club offerings, and her vibrant Sancerre is an easy favorite among K&L staff as well. Aurore makes wine on her family estate in Sury-en-Vaux, which was established by her grandfather. Before Aurore took over the estate, most of the fruit was sold off through négociants. She has slowly phased out the négociant contracts. The estate is home to more than just vines, with grain crops and farm animals also finding a home there, but for Aurore, the focus is on the wine. She farms organically and emphasizes the importance of the three soil types present on the estate. With her grapes growing on limestone, flint (or silex), and clay, Aurore can produce wines that have a real depth of character.
