Vignobles Berthier Sancerre blanc 2023

France / Loire / Sancerre

In the 1980s, Jean-Marie Berthier moved to Sainte-Gemme-en-Sancerrois and founded the Domaine des Clairneaux with his wife. In 1998, they took over the Domaine de Montbenoit in Coteaux du Giennois, a vineyard that his father had managed for many years. From these vineyards on both sides of the Loire, Vignobles Berthier was created, with vineyards in Centre-Loire, Sancerre, Giennois and Pouilly-Fumé. In 2012, the eldest son Clément took over the winemaking and marketing after spending 2 years on vineyards in Canada and the USA. The following year, Florian, the youngest son, returned home after expanding his knowledge of viticulture in Burgundy and New Zealand. The young winemakers manage the vineyards sustainably to highlight the terroir, which is mostly flint, limestone and clay-limestone.
