Product Profile
Situated in Bué in the Sancerre region of the Loire Valley, the Millet family has been making wine for over five generations. The family Domaine is now run by Gérard and Isabelle, along with their son Steve. The estate covers a total of 24 hectares of vineyard, of which 19 are in the Sancerre appellation and five hectares are in Menetou-Salon.
This family-owned winery has recently invested in new heat exchange equipment to ensure that the grapes and must are cooled to obtain maximum freshness in the wine. Their wines are fresh, pure and show great typicity.
Winemaking
From one of the top vineyard sites in Sancerre, the steep southfacing Chêne Marchand vineyard provides fruit for this very concentrated and impressive wine. Its weight doesn't come from
richness, but rather a powerful structure that underpins a mineral
tang and intense freshness
Tasting Note
Clean, precise and weightless. Deeply mineral, with those classic lemon zest, green herbs, tart apple, wet rock vibes
