Since 1848, the Cherrier family has been part of the winegrowing history of Sancerre and, more recently, Menetou-Salon. The expression of terroir, respect for the environment and a constant drive to improve the quality of the wines are at the heart of the Cherrier brothers’ philosophy.

“We have chosen not to commit ourselves to any restrictive certification, so that we remain free to adopt the best practices from different approaches — including organic, biodynamic and sustainable viticulture. We apply these methods both in the vineyard and in the cellar, with the aim of minimizing our carbon footprint.”

The estate covers 20 hectares in Sancerre and 10 hectares in Menetou-Salon, planted with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. The wines offer an authentic expression of some of the finest terroirs of these two appellations.

The vines are plowed by horse as you can see below.
