The estate's fruit from Bué shows good structure and the tangy, ripe blackcurrant character the commune is known for, carried on an aromatic nose. Sauvignon Blanc 100%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThierry Merlin-Cherrier spent five decades building this 14-hectare family estate around the commune of Bué in Sancerre, including a slice of the revered Garennes plot and a hectare in the renowned Chêne Marchand vineyard. It is planted mainly to Sauvignon Blanc with two hectares of Pinot Noir, has been farmed sustainably for more than thirty years and is HVE certified, with biodiversity encouraged and each plot cultivated to suit its own terroir. In 2022 Thierry handed the reins to his youngest daughter Agathe, who is slowly adding her own signature under his guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 8-10°C.
