"La Grand Rue is the name of a parcel located on the hillside of Sury-en-Vaux. Its sunny exposure and Tithonian limestone soils give it an intense, slightly sunny fruitiness (apricot, pear, vine peach). Warm and soft on the palate, with a lively, fresh finish". (Le Guide Hachette 2024). A rich, intensely aromatic cuvée bursting with energy!

Pascal and Nicolas Reverdy Estate
Sancerre
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
This 14-hectare family estate, managed by Pascal Reverdy, is meticulously cultivated in an environmentally-friendly manner, without claiming to be organic. In white, the cuvée Terre-de-Maimbray, from a Kimmeridgian terroir similar to that of Chablis, is a fine introduction. This is one of Sancerre's best value-for-money wines.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (guide 2024) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2025) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
La Grand Rue is the name of a parcel located on the hillside of Sury-en-Vaux. Its sunny exposure and Tithonian limestone soils give it an intense, slightly sunny fruitiness (apricot, pear, vine peach). Warm and soft on the palate, with a fresh finish.
About the domain :
The village of Maimbray is surrounded by steep hillsides with Kimmeridgian marl soils. After the death of her husband Nicolas in 2007, Sophie Reverdy took over the family business (17.8 ha) alongside her brother-in-law Pascal. In 2019, Pascal's son Victorien joined the estate, followed in 2023 by Benjamin, the youngest son.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
At their estate in Sury-En-Vaux, Pascal Reverdy and his sister-in-law Sophie produce a range of reliable, characterful, fruity and finely mineral whites, with smoky finishes such as Anges Lots and Grande Rue. 2020 embodies the reds' shift towards a more floral, uncluttered style, the result of reflections on partial vinification in whole bunches. The arrival of Pascal's son Victorien, a young oenologist, breathes new life into the wines.
