ABOUT THIS WINE
Grapes are harvested at night and each plot is hand sorted. Gentle pressing is followed by fermentation and aging in stainless steel. The wine rests on its lees until bottling the following Spring. The vines for the Sancerre are grown on flint and chalk-clay soils. The plots are spread over 3 areas : Thauvenay, Ménétréol sous Sancerre and Vinon.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
From the Producer: "Eric Louis, winemaker in Sancerre, has been rooted in the south-east of the Sancerre appellation for 4 generations. The Estate was founded in 1860 by our ancestor Pauline. The great-grandmother Pauline gave her name to the Estate “Les Celliers de la Pauline” and also to an uncommon cuvée in Sancerre aged in acacia barrels. Eric's parents, Ginette and Leon, gradually moved away from multi-crop farming and specialized into winegrowing in the 1980s.
Aware of the richness and a gigantic geological patchwork of soils, we meticulously work our vineyard with the greatest respect for the environment. The estate has been committed to an environmental approach for many years. Since 2019, our Estate is certified HVE – High Environmental Value- level 3 and in 2020, it starts a conversion into organic farming with Ecocert label."
