Eric Louis Sancerre

Domaine Eric Louis traces its roots back to 1860, when Eric’s great-great-grandmother Pauline sold her wines at the local markets. Eric, a fourth generation grape grower, is a serious farmer in the commune of Thauvenay, which is within the Sancerre AOC. Unsurprisingly, most of his production is focused on Sancerre, but he also makes small amounts of Quincy and Pouilly-Fume.

Louis' 2022 Sancerre, from an A+ Loire Valley vintage, is full, fresh, and beautifully mineralic. It offers up a nice mix of ripe citrus, green pear, green apple, lemon zest, and stony minerality. There's good body, concentration, and depth here too!
