After years in the vineyard since the age of 14, Marcel and his wife Huguette began their winemaking journey in 1945, igniting a legacy of single-site, terroir-centric Sancerres. Marcel instilled a fervor for vineyards, meticulously crafting each cuvée to reflect distinct soils, graftings, and exposures. Today, his son Pascal upholds this cherished heritage along with the help of his wife and granddaughter. Their acclaimed creation, Les Belles Dames, ages for six months in stainless steel vats and French oak, epitomizing the essence of Sauvignon Blanc. Vibrant and mineral-driven, this offering boasts herbal notes, citrus zest, and a refreshing crispness, embodying a timeless elegance.
