Biodynamic. The domaine has held vines in Chavignol for over 50 years, yet the first bottling of Satellite was as recent as 2008 (what took you so long, Alphonse?). Spread over five separate parcels—all on Kimmeridgian soils—the four-hectare site includes two precious hectares on the revered terroirs of Le Cul de Beaujeu and Les Monts-Damnés. The low cropping Sauvignon Blanc vines here are between 40 and 80 years old.
The juice was naturally fermented and raised in large, mature oak barrels and bottled without filtration.
The resulting wine harnesses both the famed texture and natural chalky electricity of the slopes of Chavignol, offering intensity, precision, elegance and balance. If anyone doubts the greatest hillside vineyards of Sancerre are every bit as special as those of Chablis, please step this way…
