Based in Verdigny, the Cherrier brothers farm 20 hectares of vines spread over five different villages around Sancerre, as well as 10 hectares of vines in Menetou-Salon. The diversity of vineyard sites allows them to blend Sauvignon Blanc from the three types of soil typical of the region, which creates harmonious and balanced wines. Silex (flint) brings minerality and flintiness, while Terre Blanche, or Kimmeridgean marl (clay with limestone underneath) brings richness, and Caillottes (gravelly limestone) brings acidity.
Sancerre Rosé of Pinot Noir is classically lean and refreshing. Think of dried strawberries served on a piece of chilled slate while you're standing in a garden of flowers that are beginning to bloom. Yeah...
