Our white Sancerre Moulin des Vrillères is a blend of our different parcels of Sauvignon. It expresses clearly its aromas of white flowers and citrus fruits, and lingers long on the palate. The dominant fresh mouth does not betray its terroir. One can open it as an aperitif and finish it with fresh or mature goat's cheese.

Intense and complex, this fresh, mineral wine with hints of grapefruit is a perfect match for seafood, grilled light fish and goat cheese. The Sancerre Blanc vines are planted in communes within the Sancerre appellation. Grapes are harvested terroir by terroir when they reach their peak of ripeness. The juices from each individual terroir are then blended harmoniously to yield a unique and versatile wine.

The SANCERRE WHITE WINE AOC 2013 comes exclusively from the SAUVIGNON GRAPE variety which is cultivated on 16 hectares (¾ Caillotes, ¼ Terres Blanches). As soon as harvested, the white grapes are pressed in a pneumatic press and separated from the musts. The temperature during the fermentation is carefully controlled to give the wine bloom and elegance. The fermentation is made thanks to a fermenting starter of natural yeasts. Musts are regularly pumped over, then blended and after fined over bentonite. It is then cooled to avoid tartaric sediment and filtered through Kieselguhr. TASTING NOTES Appearance: Pale yellow crystalline appearance with occasional green flecks. Nose: The initial impression on the nose is one of discreet intensity with varietal fragrances opening out into aromas of blackcurrant leaves and floral notes of limeflower and verbena. Upon aeration, notes of acacia are revealed. Palate: The lively attack on the palate brings a refreshing acidity, enhanced by nuances of citrus fruits and hints of peach. The mineral finish adds balance to this characteristic and harmonious Sancerre. Excellent terroir wine: rich and sophisticated. Tasting notes providede by Gely Yveline, professional sommelier (Brevet Professionnel de Sommellerie) 04.03.14. It can be drunk as an aperitif. Served with starter dishes, it accompanies very well seafood and fish as well as the famous Chavignol goat cheese. It should be served at a temperature between 8° to 10°.

This family estate in Sancerre has old vine Sauvignon Blanc planted on caillottes soils in the commune of Verdigny, and on Silex soils in the area of Saint Satur. The owners of the vineyard are not winemakers and so they sell the entire production each year to a negociaint-eleveur named Laurent Gerard. The roots of the vines draw from two particular terroirs to imbue the wine with its unique characteristics. "Les Caillottes," which is predominantly limestone, brings finess and fruit notes. "Silex" is deeper, with more flint and minerals that give the wine structure and excellent depth as a serious "vin de soif." Verdigny has recently become associated with distinctive, high quality wines that they are often referred to as "crus" even though Sancerre is not officially classified like parts of Bordeaux and Burgundy. These 45+ year old vines are some of the hidden treasures that offer us the unprecedented values such as "La Foret des Dames".

For 10 generations, the Bourgeois family has been cultivating vines in the heart of the Sancerre region on the best slopes. The estate stretches over the famous village of Chavignol known for its goat cheese but also for its wines. The vines for the Les Gonnes Bouches Sancerre are are 20-40 years old planted on chalky/clay soil. It is fermented in stainless steel and spends 5 months oak-aging on its lees preserving its aromatic qualities. This and the use of gravity for each stage of the wine making characterize the quality and style of "Bourgeois". The 2011 (now bottled in screw cap) has aromas of tropical fruit and citrus flavors that are both seductively intense, yet with a subtle, refined elegance. Its persistence and harmony makes your mouth water for another sip. Enjoy as an apertif before the meal or with fish, scallops, or the famous Chavignol goat cheese.

With a ruby cherry color, this wine emits a bouquet with red fruits flavors. Very fresh, a mineral touch, morello cherry, raspberry, supple tannins. Good persistence in end of mouth. Served well with pork, grilled meats, red meats and poultry. The estate's history starts around 1850 and today, Roger Champault is the 5th generation in this family business. When Roger Champault took over the estate, he only owned 5 acres, little by little the estate grew thanks to the new land that was bought and therefore the new vines that were planted. He also modernized the viticultural and winegrowing facilities and put thermoregulated tanks in the cellar. After their studies, Roger's two sons, Laurent and Claude began working with him. They are now the two owners of this beautiful inheritance. Planted on slopes with renowned aspects and terroirs, the estate stretches over approximately 50 acres and farmed to the HVE process as the wines are HVE certified.

A fruity and clean wine with white flowers like acacia and jasmine intermingled with citrus fruit aromas. A delicious wine, perfect with fish dishes, especially salmon, and a local goat cheese Crottin de Chavignol.

Produced from only estate-grown vineyards, this distinctive Sancerre is bright and fresh, with a ripe grapefruit and lime zest bouquet up front that gives way to a subtler hint of lemon pound cake.

Vines 25 years of age are planted in ancient clay soils. Vinified in stainless steel at low temperatures to maintain the freshness of the fruit, then aged on the lees for several months to add a touch of richness. Consume within 2-3 years alongside shellfish, salads, and soft cheeses.
