The caves are also the ideal location to age the wines from the 106 acres of the estate's Sancerre vineyards, located in the districts of Bannay, Verdigny, Saint-Satur, Crezancy and Vinon. These terroirs are where Sauvignon Blanc can best express the symphony of its mineral and grassy aromas in harmony with the flinty soils to create powerful wines with impressive ageing potential.
