Sancerre Les Culs de Beaujeu 2017, Domaine Pierre Martin

One of arguably the best 2 vineyard sites in the whole of Sancerre. Grown on a precipitous slope of clay rich soil, this is what makes the very best Sancerre’s so sought after – lovely coiled tension and elegance yet a persistent and concentrated core of citrus fruits overlaid with flinty, mineral freshness.

Pierre Martin is an exceptional winemaker with a passionate and deep understanding of his vineyards.

Domaine Martin is situated in the heart of Sancerre appellation, in the small village of Chavignol. Pierre, who took over the estate ten years ago, is following his forefathers footsteps, and works traditionally on the terroirs of Cul de Beaujeu and Les Monts Damnés.
