Domaine Sylvain Bailly Sancerre Blanc 2019 Magnum

Sylvain’s granddaughter, Sonia Bailly, joined her father Jacques in 2007 in making the wine. They now work together along with Sonia’s husband Matthieu to produce wine with the renowned beautiful texture of Bué but also with a stunning precision and fruit. Most of Sonia’s vines are situated in Bué but they also extend into the villages of Sancerre, Amigny, Crézancy and Montigny.

Their Sancerre Blancs are based on limestone soils (small pebbles), hard and very stony, making fruity wines with finesse. The white earth (Kimmeridgian marl) with some clay adds body and structure.
