Production Area
Located along the banks of the River Loire, to the east of Bourges, the Sancerre vineyard stretches over 2,770 hectares. Three types of soils dominate the Sancerre region – clay and limestone white soils, the "terres blanches" – pebbly soils, and the "caillottes" – siliceous-clayey soils.

Grape Varieties
100% Sauvignon Blanc

Vinification
Rigorous yield control (65 hl/ha) is practiced to obtain freshness and minerality and the typical flavor of Sauvignon Blanc. Fully-ripened grapes are pressed and the must is promptly racked and placed into stainless steel fermentation tanks for a long fermentation of 18°C in order to extract intense and delicate aromas. The wine is racked and then matured in tank over the fine lees for a minimum of 6 months before clarification and stabilization of the first bottling.
