Domaine Serge Laloue – The Sancerre That Never Misses

There are wines you open because they’re on the list — and then there are wines you pour because they’re just that good. Domaine Serge Laloue’s Sancerre is firmly in the second category.

Elegant, mineral, and quietly expressive, it’s one of our go-to whites at Bodega 1830 — especially when the table’s filled with seafood, salty snacks, or sunny company.

A Classic Sancerre, Grown the Right Way

Domaine Serge Laloue is a family-run estate in Thauvenay, one of the villages that make up the Sancerre AOC in the Loire Valley. They’ve been farming organically for years and are known for producing wines that express the purity of the region’s famous flinty limestone soils.

This Sancerre is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, but forget what you think you know about the grape — this isn’t grassy or aggressively sharp. Instead, it’s precise, clean, citrusy, and subtly floral, with that signature Loire minerality running right through it.

Why It’s On Our List

We keep Domaine Serge Laloue’s Sancerre stocked because it does one thing very well: it delivers. Every time. It’s the kind of wine that works with almost everything on our menu — from the gambas to the creamy mushrooms on toast. It also happens to be an excellent first-glass-of-the-night.

Clean but not cold. Expressive without being loud. It’s a white wine that speaks quietly and confidently — and we’re all ears.

When to Order It

If you’re unsure what to start with, start here. It’s a safe bet for anyone who loves crisp white wines, and a gateway bottle for those who think Sauvignon Blanc might not be for them. It also makes a great bottle to share if your table is ordering a mix of meat, fish, and veggie plates.

Now Pouring at Bodega 1830

Ask for it by name or just say, “Can we get the Sancerre?” — we’ll know the one. Domaine Serge Laloue is a staple on our list for good reason, and once you try it, you’ll get why.
