Finally back in stock! Our best-selling Sancerre and by far our most requested. The new version is better than ever!
The Lauverjat family have been growers in Sancerre for generations, but only recently switched to making wine at their Domaine. The estate is a family owned business comprising 80 hectares. Our winery is designed with respect for the traditions of our ancestors while incorporating the most modern vinification techniques. Our vines, averaging 30 years old, grow on 12 hectares of A.O.C
-Winery notes
The classic wine from this producer reflects Bué’s chalky terroir beautifully with its paradoxical generous precision (concentrated elegance might be a better way of saying this). This is a blend of parcels from both soil types (with caillottes predominating) totaling just under 30 acres. Ferments are initiated with neutral organic yeast and élevage takes place in steel and concrete with lees stirring. First bottling is at nine months; last is at eighteen months. Minimal to no filtration and only a small dose of SO2. Production averages 6,000 cases in a normal year
