Domaine de la Perrière
Sancerre • Loire Valley • France
"In the heart of Sancerre, Domaine de la Perrière transforms the hardness of flint into France's purest liquid elegance. Wines that are the mineral echo of a prehistoric terroir."
The King's Stone: Flint
Located in the municipality of Verdigny, Domaine de la Perrière is world-renowned for its mastery of flint soil. This rare and prized soil type in the Appellation d'Origine Protégée Sancerre, is responsible for the famous "gunflint" or gunpowder note that characterizes its wines.
The Saget La Perrière family, guardians of this historic estate, has managed to combine the heritage of a unique natural cave with modern winemaking techniques. The result is a world-class Sauvignon Blanc, frequently highlighted by experts from Wine Spectator for its unparalleled balance and mineral persistence.
"Sancerre in its purest state: tension, minerality, and balance defined by the Loire Valley terroir."
