Eric Louis
Winemaker in Sancerre since 1860
Located in the south-east of Sancerre, we are the fourth generation to cultivate with love, passion and respect for nature, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir on 35 hectares. Our Wine Estate carries a wide range of wines from Centre Loire appellations: Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, Menetou-Salon, Quincy, Reuilly, Châteaumeillant… and also varietal wines under the Vin de France category.
A Sancerre Estate in organic conversion
Certified “High Environmental Value”, we switched to Organic Farming in 2020 for a certification in 2023 to preserve biodiversity and highlight each terroir specificity in our wines. These certifications recognize long-standing work in favour of nature. This passion for terroir marks a range of refined, precise and mineral wines where the fruity expression is always kept.
