Production and refinement

Grapes from clayey soils, harvested by hand at perfect ripeness as per the regulations, and placed in perforated boxes.

Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay are harvested and vinified separately, with gentle pressing and fermentation at a controlled temperature of 18°C. The ideal cuvée is then made for the secondary fermentation; it is bottled and left to referment with the yeast, resting for at least 18 months.

Saget La Pierre

We are in Pouilly-sur-Loire, in the heart of one of the most renowned wine-growing regions in the world, on the left bank of the Loire River. At Domaine Saget La Pierre, winemaking has been practiced since 1790.

This passion has been passed down from generation to generation, until Laurent Saget, who now runs the estate, producing wines of the highest quality.

Saget La Pierre

The soil on which their vineyards root is mainly composed of clay and limestone, a unique combination that gives the wines both finesse and richness.

The philosophy of Domaine Saget La Pierre is to intervene as little as possible in the vineyard and in the cellar, allowing the wines to express the most authentic characteristics of the grape variety and the terroir.

Loire Valley

The Loire Valley is one of the largest and most interesting wine regions in France, located west of Burgundy: here, viticulture is practiced right along the namesake river. Various types of wines are produced, including whites, reds, rosés, sparkling wines, and even sweet wines. The Loire is especially famous for its excellent white wines, particularly from Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc grapes, though it also has a noteworthy production of red wines, mainly based on Cabernet Franc and Gamay.
The Loire Valley is also famous for Muscadet, a wine renowned for its ideal pairing with shellfish, made from the Melon de Bourgogne grape, which is called Muscadet in this region.

The climate in the Loire Valley is generally quite cool; both the temperature and the latitude place the region almost at the limit for the survival and cultivation of vines. This results in a particularly low sugar content in the grapes, producing wines that are light, low in alcohol, and characterized by high acidity. When barrels are used for maturation, the outcome includes robust wines with toasted notes, features that differ from what can be considered the classic styles of the region.

The region stretches along the course of the Loire River, the longest in France. The most suitable areas start from the cities of Nevers, Bourges, and Orléans. From these territories come the most famous wines of the region: AOCs such as Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, Vouvray, Savennières, Quarts de Chaume, Montlouis, Chinon, Bourgueil, Menetou-Salon, and Muscadet. The most important area of the Loire Valley is in the north, itself divided into three zones: one more westerly, near the Atlantic coast (around Nantes), where the AOC Muscadet is found, a central one with the AOCs Anjou-Saumur and Touraine, and an eastern one (south of Orléans), with the AOCs Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. The production in the two outer areas focuses on white wines, while in the central area the production is varied, with whites, reds, rosés, sparkling wines, and sweet wines made from grapes affected by Botrytis Cinerea. The Loire Valley also has a vast area of Vin de Pays production.

Sancerre e Pouilly-Fumé

Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé are two of the most prestigious French wine denominations. These wine regions are located in the "central vineyards" of France, a region extending south of Orléans, up to the cities of Bourges and Nevers. Here, Sauvignon Blanc finds its ideal habitat, producing wines with unique and distinctive characteristics.

Sancerre is renowned for its refined Sauvignon Blancs, known for their lively acidity and complex aromatic notes. The vineyards in this area grow on soils rich in gypsum and flint, imparting a distinctive minerality to the wines. Parcels such as Le Grand Chemarin, Chêne Marchand, and Clos de la Poussie are emblematic examples of the terroir that contributes to the production of some of the finest Sancerre wines. In addition to whites, Sancerre is the only area in the region where red and rosé wines are also produced, made from Pinot Noir and Gamay grapes.

Not far away, on the eastern bank of the Loire River, lies Pouilly-sur-Loire, home to the famous Pouilly-Fumé. This wine derives its name from the characteristic smoky notes ("fumé" in French) attributed to the limestone soils on which the vines grow. These soils, rich in flint, give the wines an aromatic profile that ranges from minerality to a subtle smokiness, making Pouilly-Fumé a unique sensory experience.

In addition to Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, the central vineyards include other important denominations such as Menetou-Salon, Quincy, and Reuilly. In these AOCs as well, Sauvignon Blanc is the undisputed star, and the wines produced retain the elegance and freshness that characterize the entire region.
