Karine Lauverjat Menetou-Salon

The Lauverjat family has been growing grapes in Sancerre for generations in the tiny village of Sury-en-Vaux. In the past, they always sold off the grapes to other producers, but decided eventually that it was sad to work so hard all year in the vineyards and then not be able to enjoy the fruit of their labor. Husband and wife team, Christian and Karine have made improvements over the years, including a transition to sustainable viticulture. 

Menetou-Salon's stoney soil gives a lot of minerality to the wine. Vines average 26-30 years-old. Fermented and aged in stainless steel.
