Located in Ménétréol-sous-Sancerre in the Loire Valley, the Gitton Père et Fils estate was founded in 1945 by Huguette & Marcel Gitton, initially with about half a hectare of vineyards. Today, the estate, managed by the founders' son Pascal, his wife Denise, and their daughter Chanel, owns approximately 33 hectares spread across three appellations in the region and produces excellent white and red wines that fully express the identity of the local terroirs.
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes come from the Les Montachins parcel, located approximately 180-200 meters above sea level. The vines, planted between 1972 and 1988, enjoy a 20-30% slope and a western exposure. The soil is calcareous. After harvesting, fermentation occurs spontaneously, and the finished wine then ages in stainless steel for 6 months.
The result is a highly representative wine of the Sancerre wine district, with a fresh and mineral character. On the nose, the wine reveals a broad and lively aromatic profile with notes of green apple and citrus, followed by hints of nectarine and white flowers. On the palate, it is dry and crisp, clean, and medium-bodied. It has vibrant acidity and a distinctive minerality. The finish is long and mouthwatering. It makes a stunning aperitif and pairs deliciously with creamy vegetable soups, fried calamari, and oysters.

Gitton Pere et Fils Sancerre Les Montachins 2024
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
