2022 Vintage: The 2022 vintage in Sancerre proved exceptional for expressing the region's distinctive terroir characteristics. Following a mild winter, the growing season featured balanced weather patterns with adequate rainfall and warm sunshine that encouraged healthy vine development. The crucial harvest period in September benefited from ideal conditions, with cool nights preserving essential aromatics whilst warm days ensured complete flavour development. This vintage demonstrates remarkable purity and precision, with the extended hang time allowing for optimal phenolic ripeness whilst maintaining the vibrant acidity and mineral complexity that defines great Sancerre, perfectly capturing the unique character of Le Perrier's exceptional terroir.
