The soil

It is the diversity of the soils of Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, Menetou-Salon and Quincy which give the richness and complexity to our wines.

Our vines are planted on a soil made of 2 / 3 of clay-limestone and 1/3 of flint for Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, clay and limestone for Menetou-Salon and sand for Quincy.

The clay and limestone soils are ideal for Sauvignon and from which it derives its subtle complexity, while the Pinot prefers heavier land where red and rosé wines can keep a light fragrance.

Our area covers eighteen acres around Thauvenay on the hills southeast of Sancerre.
