« For over a century, our family, originally from Sury-en-Vaux and Chavignol, in the very heart of the Sancerre vineyards, has devoted itself to its passion for growing vines and making wines. Our vineyard is made up of around a hundred small plots spread over four terroirs: flint, kimmeridgian marls, pebbles and clay-limestone. Aware of the fragile balance of ecosystems, we are committed to sustainable viticulture that listens to nature and is more respectful of the environment. »
Claire et Raphaël
Located in Chavignol, a small hamlet a few kilometres from Sancerre, Claire and Raphaël run a family estate in the very heart of the village at the foot of the Côte des Monts Damnés. 25% of the total surface area of our estate is planted with Pinot Noir to produce our Sancerre Rouge and Sancerre Rosé and the remaining 75% planted with Sauvignon Blanc to produce our Sancerre Blanc.
Our viticultural practices are rational, based on rigorous observation and precise diagnosis. The most important thing is the well-being of our vines, which is essential if we are to produce beautiful grapes while reducing our carbon footprint. That's the challenge we face every day.
