Sensory Description: The 'Intro' Sancerre greets you with an elegant nose of silky notes herbal, thanks to very ripe grapes and prolonged fermentation. The palate reveals a fine minerality and rocky touches, with subtle white fruit notes adding complexity. This wine is balanced and subtle, delivering a refined and somewhat feminine profile that showcases its terroir beautifully.

Winemaker's Background: The Corty and Moreux families have been devoted to winemaking since the 17th century, with a commitment to sustainable and environmentally conscious practices. Today, brothers Julien and Arnaud Moreux uphold this legacy, crafting wines that reflect their passion and the unique terroir of the Loire Valley. Their philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention and a profound respect for nature, creating wines that are both expressive and authentic.

Serving Suggestions: Enjoy the 2022 Corty Artisan 'Intro' Sancerre chilled at around 50-55°F. It pairs wonderfully with fresh seafood, goat cheese, or a light summer salad. Its minerality and freshness also make it an excellent match for sushi or lightly spiced Asian cuisine.
