Winemaker:Domaine Pascal & Nicolas Reverdy
Pascal Reverdy, now assisted by his sons Victorien and Benjamin, produces an ultra-precise, concentrated Sancerre. The same strata of Kimmeridgian chalk that gives Chablis its classic zip surfaces in the Reverdy`s village, Maimbray – hence this wine`s raciness and stony finish. Very pale lemon-green colour, aromas are intense and scented, with notes of cut lemon and elderflower. The palate is full bodied and creamily textured, having impressive richness and depth of fruit, chalky minerality and beautiful freshness. The finish is long and elegant.

Domaine Pascal & Nicolas Reverdy
Pascal Reverdy, his wife Nathalie, sister-in-law Sophie (Nicolas’ widow), and sons Victorien and Benjamin run this family domaine, based in the village of Maimbray. The domaine was started by Pascal and Nicolas in 1993, who had previously worked alongside their father on family-owned vines. Victorien joined the team in 2019, having completed his DNO at Dijon, with stages at Armand Rousseau (Gevrey-Chambertin), Châteaux Léoville Las Cases (St Julien Beychevelle) and with Christine Vernay (Condrieu). Benjamin returned to the domaine in summer 2023, having previously been at Domaine de la Romanée Conti in Vosne-Romanée. Approximately 17.5 hectares are in cultivation, with about 70% planted with Sauvignon Blanc, and 30% with Pinot Noir. Hard pruning keeps yields low, with vineyard being grassed through, and lutte raisonnée being practiced. Harvesting is by hand. They make white, red and rosé Sancerre, with no oak ageing, as well as three special cuvées (Les Anges Lots, La Grande Rue and A Nicolas) which are barrel aged.
