Terroir plays an important role at this estate. Michel, Philippe and Benoît Girard own 19 hectares of vines planted on the three different soil structures of Sancerre: Terres Blanches (clay and limestone), Caillottes (chalky limestone) and Silex (flint). They favour judicious blending of the separately-vinified cuvées to create wines with real complexity and balance.
Domaine Michel Girard Sancerre Blanc Les Monts Damnes has a delicate nose with notes of lemon, wax and flowers alongside light touches of pepper and almond. The mouth feel is rich and creamy with a textured finish. Long lees-aging adds depth and texture to the intense, ripe fruit and the finish is fine and elegant. The wine is aged in stainless steel for 14 months on its fine lees. As the wine is from the village of Chavignol goats cheese of course makes the perfect match for this wine.
