Made from 100% Pinot Noir, a climate cooler than Burgundy produces wines even lighter in colour and body than those of Burgundy, with extraordinarily delicacy and finesse. As well as his superb whites and rosé, Christian Lauverjat also produces this beautifully soft red Sancerre with great purity of fruit and balance. Splendid on it’s own, but also to accompany grilled fish, particularly salmon, white meat dishes, and soft rind cheeses.

Sourced from vineyards that fall exactly along the border of the two sub-regions of Anjou, this gorgeously subtle white from fourth-generation winemaker Pascal Biotteau comes from the village of Saint-Jean-de-Mauvrets, situated on the old Roman road from Angers to Poitiers.

La Moussière is the estate’s flagship cuvee, its richness, energy and precision defining the Alphonse Mellot style. This 100% Sauvignon white wine has a floral and fruity nose combining white flowers with citrus fruits, a resplendent golden robe with glints of green, and a lively, refreshing palate.

This is the domaine’s horse, a wine that never fails to make the cut for Bettane & Desseauve’s annual Guide des Vins, France’s most serious guide. The Guide notes the "perfect maturity" the Natters obtain from their grapes, and that maturity, coupled with native yeast fermentation in foudre, accounts for the intense aromas and rich texture of the wine. It spends a minimum of six months aging in the big casks. Production averages 8,500 cases.

Welcome to the mineral-driven wines of the Muscadet region. with subtle charm they represent some of the most value driven, age worthy white wines on the planet. Showcasing a crunchy minerality with vivacity and freshness, this wine is aromatic with green apple, citrus, and white peach. With air or aging, mint and eucalyptus emerge with a dry finish of salty ocean air and pithy citrus fruits

In a small hamlet named Amigny, Jean-Claude and his son Antoine farm 25 acres. Their land is partly made of “terres blanches” vineyards located closer to the village of Bué and partly of “Caillotes” parcels closer to Verdigny.

The terroir of the fifteen villages that make up the area of Sancerre is particularly unique in that the soil varies, so the wine flavors are slightly different.

For years the winery did not bottle much wines but mainly sold their grapes to more famous surrounding wineries.

Antoine who shows a clear talent for winemaking decided in 2016 to bottle cuvees from his best parcels of Amigny’s “Caillotes” which produces very floral wines with

cuvées from the “terres blanches” vineyards that bring structure and fuller body.

The result is a very complete, floral and full-bodied wine with a zest of mineral component.
