Former property of Chateau de la Bucède, my grandfather acquired this superb parcel in 1946. Forming a natural amphitheatre on a very steep slope, protected from the wind, it has a very good exposition to the sun, Les Godons vineyard is blessed with a unique microclimate.
The Les Chasseignes slopes are composed of limestone soil. These steep slopes provide the vines with optimal exposure to sunlight. This fine Sancerre Blanc is vinified in oak barrels.
The wine from this vineyard exhibits the natural characteristics of the limestone-clay terroir which is loaded with “caillotes” (pebbly chalk soil) and favoured with an excellent southeastern exposure.
Wine made from these vines are grown on several parcels of predominatly kimmeridgian marl soil then blended for this cuvee. This “mosaic” of terroirs gives the wine its extraordinary balance.
The Coteaux du Giennois vineyards are grown on a very complex terroir composed of a flinty-clay surface over a chalky subsoil. This surface layer has flint pebbles which act as natural miniature storage heaters storing heat during the day and releasing it at night.
