The Domaine Reverdy-Ducroux Sancerre Beau Roy is a classic expression of Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley, France. The grapes for this wine are sourced from vines planted on the hillside vineyards of the Beau Roy plot, on the estate's Kimmeridgian limestone soil. The family has been cultivating its wines in this region for 14 generations.
