From very stony soil which Sauvignon loves, this is super fresh, vivacious and zingy with personality. Limey, orange zest and a hint of just ripe crunchy apricot, stony too. Very mineral and elegant yet with bags of fruit. A very smart first release from this vineyard. Stephane Cherrier is a master at what he does. This is everything you'd ever want from a Sancerre...there I said it!

We've found over the years that the wine producers who never get back to you are the best. And so it was with Stephane Cherrier......! Having heard exciting things about him, we made the major diversion on our trip to Burgundy in February 2022 to meet vigneron Stephane in person. What a brilliant decision that was. Located in the tiny village of Verdigny just northwest of Sancerre, he farms a scattering of hillside parcels totalling 13ha; 10 planted to Sauvignon and the remaining 3 to Pinot Noir on rocky Kimmeridgian limestone, organically too. As his father didn't bottle and instead sold the wine to other producers, Stephane is actually the one putting the name on the map. Stylistically, the domaine is about elegance, restrained power and making a lovely drink that blends beautifully with food, and ages superbly too.
