The Cyprien Perchaud estate is located in Sainte-Gemme-en-Sancerrois, the northernmost village of Sancerre. The winery was established in 1990 by Daniel Reverdy, where it was eventually passed down to his son, Cyprien. Production continues to be family-run, with 8 hectares of holdings in Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, planted on clay and limestone soils.

The cooler climate in this northern village allows the fruit to stay on the vines longer, creating excellent balance and tension. The grapes have more time to ripen and develop flavor while remaining fresh due to cool breezes. The estate farms organically and embraces biodiversity, working without chemicals, and using green harvest techniques to regulate yields and produce the healthiest possible fruit.

The winery is serious about protecting their vision of terroir-driven wines, and so so by harvesting all fruit by hand. It is then very thoroughly sorted - both in the vineyard at the plot, and in the cellar. Vinification and aging are in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and little intervention, to further preserve the typicity of Loire Valley terroir.

Aromas of fresh lemon, bitter citrus, elderflower, and white stones. The palate is crisp and mineral-driven, with just a hint of citrus fruit. Balanced and expressive with a refreshing acidity.
