Ratings & Reviews

Vineyard

Vineyards are planted on the south east side of the Sancerre hill, primarily in Thauveney, with some in Ménétréol sous Sancerre and Vinon. Soil composed of 1/2 chalky-clay and 1/2 flinty (silex) soils. Organic approach in the vineyard, no herbicide, grass-growing, hoeing, ploughing, disbudding, and green harvesting.

Vinification

Grapes are slowly pressed to extract the best of the fruit. Three to four-week temp-controlled fermentation with indigenous yeast in stainless steel tanks. Sancerre Blanc does not undergo malo-lactic, but is left on lees until February following harvest.

Aging

Aged on its fine lees until February where it develops its richness and its length.
