WineSaint
Dense mineral expression from Chavignol's oldest vines. Crushed oyster shell and wet stone drive the aromatics, while subtle oak adds textural richness without overwhelming the core. The palate shows impressive weight for Sancerre, finishing with penetrating salinity that lingers. This singular cuvée rewards patience.

François Cotat
→François Cotat produces some of Sancerre's most singular whites from the limestone slopes of Chavignol, with wines built for aging rather than early drinking. A reference point for the appellation's serious side.
