Vignobles Berthier Sancerre Les Chasseignes 2017

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 winery that his father ran for many years. From these wineries on both sides of the Loire, Vignobles Berthier emerged with locations in Centre-Loire, Sancerre, Giennois and Pouilly-Fumé. In 2012, the eldest son Clément takes over the winemaking and marketing after spending 2 years on wineries in Canada and the USA. The following year, Florian, the youngest son, returns home after expanding his knowledge of viticulture in Burgundy and New Zealand. The young winemakers cultivate the vineyards sustainably to emphasize the terroir, mostly flint, limestone and clay-limestone.
