REGION: Loire

The Garrault family has been growing grapes in Sancerre for over 10 generations. From the village of Verdigny, their vineyards are located on truly privileged terroir. The soils found here are the classic Terres Blanches and Caillotes that bestow laser intense minerality into their stellar wines.

Domaine Pastou is located in the commune of Sury-en-Vaux, a sleepy town located amidst the rolling hills in the Northern section of the Sancerre appellation. Jean-Marc Pastou and his son Romain make this perennial favorite, delivering mineral driven, lacy Sancerre of the highest caliber.

Xavier Weisskopf founded Le Rocher des Violettes in 2005 after falling in love with Chenin and the vines of Montlouis. He works completely organically, allowing his old vine Chenin, Cab Franc, and Cot to express themselves through wines of incredible purity and precision.
