Wine Information

The Estate

The Domaine Pierre Martin vineyard is located around Chavignol, a small wine-growing village in the Cher department of the Centre-Val de Loire region, also famous for its goat cheese, Crottin de Chavignol. Currently converting to organic farming, terroirs such as Monts Damnés and Culs de Beaujeu are already world-renowned.

The terroir

The vines of Domaine Pierre Martin's Sancerre Les Culs de Beaujeu are planted on hillsides on Kimmeridgian marl soil full of oyster fossils known as "Terres Blanches." This steep terroir makes vineyard work difficult.
