Sancerre, Domaine Jean Thomas, Magnum

This small, family owned, 9ha estate, is run by 9th generation Jean and Ginette Thomas, along with their son Julien and partner Justine. The domaine is located in the village of Verdigny, with a high proportion of its vineyards located on the highly sought-after Silex soil, which produces the most aromatic and pungent crisp Sauvignons that this region is famous for. They manage the vineyards according to bio-dynamic principles. Handpicked grapes and small bunch pressing give great juice, a clarity and focus of flavour as well as a superb minerality to the wines of this domaine.
