| Winery | The 35-year-old Sauvignon vines are grown in a small plot named ‘Desert du Petit Bannon’, which is located in the commune of Vinon in the Sancerre appellation. The soils are made up of a clay-siliceous composition, rich in flinty pebbles, which help to store and reflect the day's heat and radiate it at night, assisting the ripening of the fruit. The siliceous-rich stones are also associated with the gun-flint aromas of wines from this terroir. The vines are grown using climate-smart integrated methods, including biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategies, managed fertiliser use and water resource management. Careful canopy management includes leaf thinning, encouraging the grapes to reach optimal ripeness and concentrating the flavours in the berries. |
