History

It all began with Pauline, the great-grandmother of Eric, who in 1860 sold her wine at markets. "Les Celliers de la Pauline” (Pauline’s Cellars) owe their name to her as well as our special vintage which was named "Cuvée Pauline" in her honour.

Then his son, Julien, with his wife Louise, took up the torch after Pauline, caring for the vineyard and his wine keeping to the same traditions, with love and respect.

Later came his son Leon, who by marrying Ginette, joined two vineyards, and created the Cellars of the Pauline.

Ginette's father, Paul Cantin known as "Robert" was a famous regional storyteller. He knew how to describe the Sancerre and its traditions in the local dialect and singing about the past.
It was in the 70s that Sancerre became famous in France and even out with our borders, and “les Celliers de la Pauline” established themselves at this time too, thanks to the work of Léon Louis.
The inheritor of all of this tradition, nowadays it is Eric Louis who creates the family wines with the same love and respect for the vine.
