Potion Collector - Thomas-Labaille Sancerre 3-pack (Wine Explorers Club)


Potion Collector - Thomas-Labaille Sancerre 3-pack (Wine Explorers Club)
Not your patio Sancerre.
This is Sancerre with weight. With presence. The kind that leans toward white Burgundy—not in imitation, but in seriousness.
The fruit comes from Les Monts Damnés, one of the steepest, most punishing vineyard sites in Chavignol. Farming here isn’t optional—it’s commitment. Old vines, worked by hand, on slopes that don’t forgive shortcuts.
From the Louis/Dressner archives:
When asked who still made Sancerre the traditional way, an old vigneron in Chavignol answered simply:
“Cotat… and my friend Claude.”
That lineage now runs through the Labaille family.
This isn’t citrus and forgettable minerality.
It’s texture. Lees influence. Quiet density.
A wine that evolves in the glass instead of disappearing.

Old vines from Monts Damnés
Broad, leesy texture (rare for Sancerre)

Very limited allocation.
These bottles don’t circulate widely—and rarely show up together like this.
