Vineyard & Terroir
Les Broux Terroir
Located on the north-facing slopes of Sancerre, the Les Broux vineyards rest on a foundation of limestone and silex, imparting a distinctive flinty note to the grapes. The cool continental climate ensures slow ripening, preserving acidity and varietal character.
Sustainable Practices
The Cave des Vins de Sancerre cooperative emphasizes minimal intervention and sustainable viticulture. Vines are carefully managed to promote biodiversity, limit chemical inputs, and maintain soil health.
Winemaking
After selective hand harvesting, grapes undergo gentle pressing and cold settling. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the wine’s fresh fruit aromas. Lees stirring adds texture, while no oak influence ensures purity of flavor.
