General Information
Vincent Grall Blanc Cuvée Le Manoir 2020 is named after the small plot from which it originates, located on a hill southeast of Sancerre. Its siliceous and clay soils give the sauvignon blanc grapes used in its production a special complexity, further enhanced in the winery by vinification in used oak barrels.
Vincent Grall Vigneron is one of the smallest yet most interesting wineries in the A.O.C. Sancerre. Their productions are limited and of exceptional quality, given the small size of their vineyard of just over 3.8 hectares. This allows the winery total and thorough control of each and every process, both in the field and in the winery. The result is creations like Vincent Grall Blanc Cuvée Le Manoir 2020, wines that showcase the essence of Sancerre. Perfect to enjoy with semi-cured cheeses and fish.
