Steve Millet Sancerre 2022 – Loire’s Zing in a Glass

Tasting Notes

Pale‑yellow glow that knows it’s pretty, this Sancerre hits you first with fresh‑squeezed tangerine, lemon citrus, golden apple, and a hint of freshly cut grass, then gives you palate laser‑sharp acidity that snaps your mouth alert with minerality and zing. It’s crisp, clean, and puts basic whites on notice.

Critic Reviews

• 89 pts — Wine Enthusiast: “This is a solid Sancerre. Lemon in color, this wine has a nose of fresh‑squeezed tangerine, lemon citrus, golden apple and freshly cut grass. The Sancerre is fresh and clean on the palate with bright acidity.” — Reggie Solomon.

No Vinous, no Decanter, no sideline bullshit—just the straight-up score we can verify.

Food Pairings

• Oysters or fresh clams, because nothing says Loire brightness like a slurp of brine with lemon zest.

• Goat cheese crostini, naturally (duh).

• Grilled asparagus with olive oil, because this wine needs someone that matches its crisp backbone.

Why You Need This Bottle

Because “grown-up Chardonnay” is so 2010. This wine is Loire Valley in your mouth — smart, sharp, and silently savage. It’s the white wine equivalent of a white tee and leather jacket: effortless, cool, and impossible to ignore.
