Domaine Arnaud et Stéphanie Dezat
Domaine Arnaud et Stéphanie Dezat works Sauvignon Blanc across three appellations of the Upper Loire: Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, and Menetou-Salon. The region's chalky, clay-rich soils and cool continental climate shape wines of mineral precision and aromatic intensity. The domaine's Cellier des Marnes Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre—both pure Sauvignon Blanc—anchor the portfolio, joined by a Menetou-Salon of the same varietal. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast. The Upper Loire's Sauvignon Blancs are known for their bracing acidity, herbaceous character, and flinty minerality, qualities that emerge from the terroir's limestone and flint deposits. Dezat's selections reflect the region's commitment to expressing site through this single, demanding grape.
