Origin
The Domaine’s 22 hectares of vineyard are situated mainly in Crézancy, with a tiny proportion located in Bué and the village of Sancerre itself. The range of soils in this area gives David an excellent selection of different blending components for the wine, giving more complex and varied flavours. The 2022 vintage blends fruit from vineyard plots on three different soil types: chalky ‘caillottes’ soils in the village of Bué, Kimmeridgian limestone in Crézancy and clay in Sancerre.
Producer
From 1683, the Sautereau family have produced wine in the village of Crézancy, seven kilometres southwest of Sancerre. The winery is run by the family’s tenth generation, David Sautereau, who makes modern, attractive wines that offer excellent value for money. His careful, orderly approach in his small, immaculate cellar is reflected in the purity of his wines which he describes as “sincere Sancerre”.
The domaine’s 22 hectares of vineyards are spread across the villages of Crézancy, Bué and Sancerre. They are planted on various soil types, including chalky ‘caillottes’ soils in the village of Bué, Kimmeridgian limestone in Crézancy and clay in Sancerre. This allows David to work with multiple blending options for his Sancerre, which has a touch of minerality on the palate and an aromatic gooseberry character.
