Gitton Père et Fils

From his 27 hectares in Sancerre, Pouilly Fume and the Côteaux du Giennois, Pascal Gitton crafts a tantalizing selection of vins de terroirs. A real favorite is the classically styled Les Belles Dames. This trenchant Sauvignon Blanc is produced from selected vines grown on the silex soils of the 5 hectare lieu-dit – Les Belles Dames. The wine is aged for 9-10 months in oak barrels – (not new!) The wine possesses mouth-wateringly ripe and flinty, zesty fruit flavors along with racy acidity and breathtaking delineation. This is an exceptionally elegant and harmonious Sancerre with lovely purity of fruit and a distinctive steely minerality.

Gitton "Les Belles Dames" Sancerre Blanc

From a 5 hectare parcel on flint soil, Les Belles Dames carries a dusty, edgy beam of acidity on a sturdy frame. This thirst quenching Sancerre begins to develop texture with age or one hour of decanting.

Gitton "Les Herses" Sancerre Blanc

From a small parcel of old vines, this single vineyard sauvignon blanc displays great intensity and depth on the mid-palate. A finely tuned Sancerre that is a cut above, and with enough longevity to carry it for 10-15 years.

Gitton "Les Romains" Sancerre Rose

Sancerre Pinot Noir planted in 1965 on a small parcel known as Les Romains. A classic Sancerre rosé which benefits from 6 months of additional aging in the bottle before release.

Gitton "Clos Joanne D’Orion" Pouilly-Fumé

Coming from 1.33 hectares planted in 195 on SO4 rootstocks this is a classic Pouilly-Fumé exhibiting flinty chalkiness married with balanced sauvignon blanc fruit.
