Produced from vineyards located below the village of Sancerre near the hamlet of Amigny, this wine comes from parcels planted predominantly on caillottes limestone soils, a classic terroir of the appellation. The estate has been entirely replanted using massal selection derived from ancestral vines, preserving historic plant material and expressing the purity of the terroir. The vineyards sit on steep slopes of 40–45%, allowing optimal sunlight exposure and contributing to the wine’s balance of ripeness, minerality, and precision.
Appellation: Sancerre White
Region: Loire Valley
Grape Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Winemaking: Grapes are carefully harvested by hand and gently pressed, followed by natural fermentation using indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged on fine lees in stainless-steel tanks, allowing a non-interventionist approach that highlights the authenticity, minerality, and elegance of the terroir.
Tasting Notes: Elegant and precise, this Sancerre Blanc reveals a refined mineral profile with bright citrus freshness and subtle floral notes, leading to a beautifully balanced palate with remarkable length and finesse.
Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with oysters on the half shell, grilled sea bass with lemon, goat cheese crottin de Chavignol, and scallop carpaccio.
