Experience the essence of Sancerre with this captivating wine from Bué, where the region's distinctive terroir shines through with remarkable clarity.

The result is a beautifully concentrated wine with a crystalline freshness, boasting mineral-driven precision and a refined depth. The subtle influence of limestone adds structure, while the clay gives it a graceful roundness. A classic Sancerre that tells the story of its terroir with every sip—graceful, complex, and utterly timeless. 100% Sauvignon Blanc
