CHERRIER PERE ET FILS SANCERRE 2022

The Cherrier family has been a trusted name in Sancerre since the late 1800s. They have 35 acres in Chaudoux, north of the village of Sancerre proper. The soils are a refined mix of flint and chalk, a terroir marriage that makes the best Sancerre so vibrant. Take a look a Francois in our store on his first visit to the United States

The estate founder, Maurice, planted some of the first vines in the village. His son, Pierre, took over in the 1960s and today it is Pierre’s sons, François and Jean-Marie, who have 
taken winemaking at this generations-deep family estate to a whole new level, with terroir-true wines that are stunning values for their high quality.

Grapes are harvested by hand. Wines are fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and aged on fine lees. The ‘croix poignant’ is a monument to a general from the Napoleonic era. While not the “official” name of a vineyard, it is long-established tradition that the family identifies this particularly chalk-rich plot with this name.
