This 2010 Sancerre shines with freshness, minerality and gourmet, citrus aromas. We love its lively, sharp edge and the lovely mineral tension on the finish. An ideal companion for the famous Crottin de Chavignol... A superb 2010 vintage not to be missed!

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine noté (guide 2011) Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list and as such, all the estates that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
"This thirty-something gentleman has been making a name for himself since 2000 with red Sancerre, but his ambitions don't stop with Pinot Noir. His Sauvignons are also rising in range and precision, expressing themselves in a rich, ripe style typical of the Bué area - particularly the Chêne Marchand sector."
