Wine runs in the veins of the Reverdy family. For four generations, the family has been inspired by the same values: a hereditary attachment to the Loire Valley, an instinctive passion for the terroirs and an innate respect for people and work. Passion, integrity and accuracy are the key words that drive the members of the estate. Today, Jean-Marie Reverdy, guided by his vocation, makes the estate prosper with his wife Catherine and his two sons, Guillaume and Baptiste. The cellars are located in the middle of the vineyards. This unique situation offers a breathtaking view of the famous Sancerre hill and its vineyards. The Centre Loire is a tourist region renowned for its wines and appreciated for its attractive landscapes.

Terroir

This cuvée is made from a selection of old Sauvignon plots over 40 years old. These vines flourish on a limestone terroir called “Les Caillottes”. The limestone is the emblematic marker of this Sancerre region and brings minerality to the wine, while the age of these vines provides richness, density and substance. The unique blend of these two characteristics reveals a complete, elegant wine of character.

Winemaking

Harvested when perfectly ripe and rigorously sorted, the grapes are carried by vibration to the press. After a gentle and slow pressing at low pressure, the juice flows by gravity into the vats for the next stage called “Débourbage”. This natural cold decantation of about 12 to 16 hours allows the coarser impurities to be separated by racking. The grape juice then undergoes alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at a temperature of between 15 and 20°C. In order to develop the full potential of this wine, it is aged for 5 months on fine lees.

Tasting notes

The colour is light yellow and brilliant. Mineral and ripe fruit aromas blend together to give a fresh and pleasant bouquet. The wine is very pleasant on the palate: racy and round, with a delicately acidic finish that gives it a nice freshness.

Food pairing

The wine pairing is not trivial. A successful combination transforms the meal into a real moment of pleasure and conviviality. Served between 10 and 12 degrees, this wine will accompany you during a gastronomic meal. It will go perfectly with sole meunière, crab soufflé or rabbit with tarragon.
