This wine is a pale yellow in colour. The nose is open and intense, boasting pleasant aromas of grapefruit, mango and white flowers. The palate has a very good balance between tension and finesse, culminating in a long, saline finish.

The Domaine's 22 hectares of vineyard are situated mainly in Crézancy, with a tiny proportion located in Bué and the village of Sancerre itself. The range of soils in this area gives David an excellent selection of different blending components for the wine, giving more complex and varied flavours. The 2025 vintage blends fruit from vineyard plots on three different soil types: chalky ‘caillottes’ soils in the village of Bué, Kimmeridgian limestone in Crézancy and clay in Sancerre.

Each plot was picked and vinified separately. The pressed grapes were fermented in stainless-steel tanks at relatively cool temperatures of 17-21ºC in order to preserve the purity and aromatics of the fruit. The wine was aged in stainless steel on fine lees, before the final blend was assembled and bottled.

The Sautereau family have produced wine in the village of Crézancy, seven kilometres southwest of Sancerre since 1683. Today, the winery is run by the family's tenth generation, David Sautereau, who makes modern, attractive wines that offer excellent value for money. His careful, orderly approach in his small, immaculate cellar is reflected in the purity of his wines which he describes as “sincere Sancerre”.
