About The Producer

This small multigenerational family producer has a long history. They are located in the heart of Chavignol, considered a Cru of Sancerre. Serge's son, Guillaume, succeeded his father as the winemaker over 10 years ago and continues to raise the bar.

Terroir & Vineyard Practices:

All of the Domaine's vines are in the village of Chavignol, undisputedly the site of the best terroir in Sancerre. Crafted from carefully selected parcels of estate-grown Sauvignon, the wine has superb balance, complexity, and depth.

Tasting Notes

Refreshingly crisp, loaded with citrus, a touch of herbs, honey, and a striking mineral finish. From a generations-old family Domaine, the crisp acidity and stony minerality set this Sancerre above the rest.

Vinification

Extensive sorting before a slow and delicate pressing. Cold fermentation. Raised on fine lees until bottling.
