"Hippolyte Reverdy’s family has been making wine in the charming village of Verdigny for many generations. The Reverdys raised goats on a traditional multi-crop farm, making small quantities of wine for local consumption. It wasn’t until after WWII that Hippolyte and his sons began increasing production and bottling under their own label. Michel joined his father and brothers at the domaine in 1971. Shortly after famous American Wine Importer, Kermit Lynch, began working with the domaine in 1983, the passing of Hippolyte and untimely deaths of Michel’s two brothers brought a climate of sadness to the domaine. Slowly but surely, Michel has found his own rhythm. 

Very pure Sancerre aroma, generous, fresh, without grassy edges. The palate is expansive, then the nervosity makes its appearance and the finish is dry and lipsmackingly good. One of the things I love about it is that it leaves on the lips, not the palate, not the throat, but on your lips, a fresh little lemony whisper which makes it a fabulous complement to simple fish dishes."
