Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 1*Star (Rising stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
Philippe Prieur and his nephew, Luc, carry on the work of ten generations at this estate in Verdigny. The vineyards are spread across the caillottes and white soils of Verdigny and Chavignol (notably on the legendary Monts Damnés hillside) and on the flint soils of Thauvenay, near the Loire. These meticulous winemakers spare no effort to refine the character of their Sauvignon Blancs and Pinot Noirs (conversion to organic farming since 2019, reduced sulfites in the wines, indigenous yeasts for the reds, etc.). This philosophy is reflected in their carefully crafted, precise wines, which lack the exotic, modern, and boring character found in many white wines from the new generation of Sancerre producers. The “simple” Sancerre is a prime example.
