To make this white Sancerre, the winery blend the three characteristic terroirs of the Appellation. Each one has its own characteristics: flint-stone provides ageing potential,
structure, freshness and minerality; the white soils provide roundness and aromas of white flowers (lily and acacia) and exotic fruits (lychee and pineapple); the
Caillottes (hard limestone) and the Griottes (soft limestone) bring about freshness, floral and intense citrus aromas. The blend of these terroirs gives a fine, elegant and complex cuvée.
Soils/Terroirs: A combination of Sancerre’s three typical terroirs – flint-stone, white soils, and small stones.
Winemaking features: The parcels are harvested by type of terroir according to their maturity. Their separate vinification in thermo-regulated stainless-steel vats respects the initial expression of these terroirs. Ageing on fine lees brings density and finesse in mouth, and more ageing potential. The blending is done at the end of the maturing process.
