TERROIR
The soils of the Sancerre vineyards have been shaped by erosion from the different geological facies exposed by numerous faults, including the two famous north-south faults known as the Sancerre and Thauvenay faults, which cross the vineyards from one side to the other.
These bring the Upper Jurassic (-154 to -140 Ma) layers to the west into contact with the Cretaceous (-96 to -65 Ma) and Eocene (-64 to -34 Ma) formations to the east.
The WHITE SANCERRE cuvée is a blend of plots located in the municipalities of Saint-Gemme-en-Sancerrois, Verdigny and Sury-en-Vaux. The plots are located on soils known as "terres blanches", consisting of an 80-meter-thick layer of Upper Kimmeridgian marl with varying degrees of clay, alternating with banks of soft or shell limestone, as well as “caillottes”, dating from the Oxfordian, and consisting of hard, thin and very stony limestone.
WINEGROWING & WINEMAKING
The grapes are cultivated according to the Organic Farming principles, for which Ecocert certification was officially obtained in 2023.
The vines selected for the WHITE SANCERRE cuvée are 30 years old and their yield is about 55 hl/ha.
Harvesting is mechanical, the grapes are then gently pressed and the juice transferred to thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks, where the alcoholic fermentation is carried out by indigenous yeasts (75%), with the addition of a few active neutral-tasting dry yeasts (25%).
The musts from each area are vinified separately before being blended and matured on their fine lees, again in stainless steel tanks, for 6 to 18 months.
The must is then racked and lightly filtered before bottling.
