The interviews are originally much longer so I had to edit out to keep the best bits, yet making sure it'd still make sense, plus the contextualization speeches, etc. It makes it all worth it hearing your kind comment :-) I'll try to publish the full interviews soon when i get a chance to translate for the subtittles. Those take forever as well, transcribing, translating and then pasting them second by second onto the video. Anyhow. Glad you enjoy. See you around soon for more :-)

    Being a Kiwi I rarely drink anything other than New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. However the wines from the Sancerre region sound intriguing and I will have check them out. Great video, thank you.

    • @YouTubeJulien
      @YouTubeJulien  4 роки тому +1

      I've been there 'bro'. I lived in NZ for 6 years. It was one of the greatest times ofm my life, including for wine, at least NZ wine (oh, and for rugby, back to back man 💪 even though the last one 😪) . But yes, even in New Zealand, many look at Sancerre as the purest and the reference style for Sauv Blanc. That's also why i enjoyed visiting here the birthplace of SB in France and sharing those stories even more. Glad you perceived it and enjoyed it ♥️🇳🇿🥂

    Lose the distracting background music. You don’t need it because your video is fantastic on its own! As an American, I’m partial to new world Sauvignon blanc wines. However, every now and then, I buy a Sancerre or pule fume. Thank you for all of the effort you put into this production. Next time I’m in Paris, I may take that two hour drive

      Thank you very much Morten. I make those whenever I get a chance and can get the support from local wine bureaus to assist with travels and planning, and will continue to do so. Comments and support like yours will certainly help. As I said in this video, there'll be another two episodes coming up soon about this particular trip down the Loire. I'll be making other regions on occasions too. But these take an incredible amount of time to assemble, as I do absolutely everything on my own, so I unfortunately cannot pump out those very often. Takes time and budget to do, but I'll try my best for sure :-) tx again for the great feedback and encouragements. Cheers M.

    I have small experimental vineyard in Poland testing at about 50 types of grapes .This year the most impressive for me was taste of Sauvignon Kretos and especially Sauvignon Nepis .I just wonder what do you think about modified genetically grapes?This looks nice to watch such video but reality is sad ,you have to spray a lot .

Great to re-visit Sancerre with you, we did this trip in 2018, had two really good degustations with growers who as always willingly shared their knowledge. To make it even more worthwhile and retain the memories returned with some cases of sancerre and pouilly fume for the cellar!

    did you do this trip on your own (planning, wine tours etc.) or you hired somebody/bought a "package"? :)
    If one goes there, who does not speak really french, is it still possible to visit any of the wineries?

    • @YouTubeJulien
      @YouTubeJulien  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Nejc, Thank you :-) I was hosted by the Loire wines bureau, the organisation for the promotion of the wines there. You know, when you make wine content like this, they help you get around. But wine tourism in Sancerre is extremely well organised. First you have the Maison des Sancerre, the musuem as shown in the video, and they can help you get around. There's lots of wine shops in town from varied wineries, some nice restaurants. People are friendly and speak English generally. Most winery's cellar doors are always open Most wineries have some accommodations as well that are available so they'll treat you well especially if you stay at their place. I mean loads of possibilities. the two producers feature in the video offer some visits too, see www.henribourgeois.com/en/nous-rendre-visite/ and www.josephmellot.com/en/ . So yes, it's not one of those French wine regions where you're excited to visit but when you get there everything's locked up and it's hard to get around. Here's it's really well set up and pleasing :-)
