Sancerre sits across the Loire from Pouilly-Fumé, its hillside vineyards built on the same Kimmeridgian limestone family found in Chablis. Domaine Cherrier Père et Fils has farmed this terroir since 1930 — four generations deep, with Fernand, his son Sylvain, and daughter-in-law Monique now running the estate together. The family is also a recognized producer of Crottin de Chavignol, the goat cheese that shares this same hillside and forms the region’s defining pairing.
2025 ran the other way from 2024. A warm, dry season kept disease pressure low, a July hailstorm clipped yields across Sancerre, and August heat left small, thick-skinned berries picked from 28 August in one of the region’s earliest harvests. Cool nights held the acidity in place. This bottling is hand-harvested, fermented in stainless tank with no malolactic, built for the appellation’s chalky minerality rather than fruit-forward excess.
PAIRINGS :
| Crottin de Chavignol | same hillside, the textbook match — acid cuts the cheese’s creaminess |
| Oysters on the half shell | saline minerality mirrors the brine |
| Pan-seared sole or branzino | citrus and stone lift delicate fish without overpowering it |
