The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine The Paul Prieur et Fils Estate jealously reserves its wines for connoisseurs, with only a limited number of bottles available and highly selective distribution. Established for 11 generations on the finest terroirs of Sancerre, in Verdigny, this family estate crafts impactful, meticulous, and precise wines, starred in the RVF Guide.

Today, Luc Prieur is fully committed to refining the expression of his Sauvignons and Pinot Noirs, practicing organic farming at the foot of the Monts Damnés hill, producing exemplary cuvées that have become benchmarks of the appellation.
Wine A quintessence of the limestone terroirs of white soils, the 2022 white Sancerre is a lively and spirited wine, with precise floral aromas. Its purity, freshness, and grace resonate with its fine structure, delivering a precise, taut, and crisp juice. A beautifully balanced wine to be enjoyed today in large glasses or after decanting, paired with fish, shellfish, or fresh cheeses.
Vinification Hand-harvested, from 40% Caillotes, 40% Silex and 20% Terres Blanches, aged for 8 to 10 months, 95% in stainless steel vats and 5% in new 228-litre barrels.

Certified organic wine.
