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.

2024 was a difficult, mildew-pressured vintage across the Loire — growers describe it as a test of vigilance more than terroir. This bottling holds the line: hand-harvested, fermented in stainless tank with no malolactic, built for the appellation's signature high acidity and chalky minerality rather than fruit-forward excess.
