Close100% Sauvignon Blanc
Food pairings: Aperitifs, oysters and other shellfish, fish, vol-au-vent, and Crottin de Chavignol goat cheese.
Winemaking: The grapes are picked at optimal ripeness and given a long, low-pressure pneumatic pressing, with the juice flowing by gravity from press to tank to avoid handling. After 12 hours of cold settling, the wine ferments in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks and is aged in tank on its fine lees for five to seven months, then bottled at the domaine.
Vineyards and terroir: La Villaudière is an assemblage of 47 southeast-facing parcels of Sauvignon Blanc, 30 to 40 years old on average, on all three Sancerre terroirs: about 65% caillottes (limestone), 30% terres blanches (Kimmeridgian marl) and 5% silex (flint). The domaine is certified Haute Valeur Environnementale.
Family and history: Domaine de la Villaudière, Jean-Marie Reverdy & Fils, is a family estate in Sancerre and Verdigny, run by the Reverdy family for four generations. Jean-Marie Reverdy and his wife Catherine grew the domaine, and their sons Guillaume and Baptiste are now taking over. Every step from vine to bottle is carried out at the domaine.
