Domaine De La Chezatte: A Legacy of Sancerre Winemaking

Domaine De La Chezatte: A Family Tradition

Located in the picturesque Loire Valley, Domaine de la Chezatte is a family-owned winery with a rich history spanning four generations. The estate has been dedicated to producing natural, fruity wines that are cherished by wine lovers worldwide. Established in 1977, the winery began with 20 hectares of vineyards, a cooling chamber, and two harvesting bins. Notably, they were pioneers in the Sancerre region by acquiring the first mechanical grape harvester. Today, the fourth generation manages the estate, which has expanded to 30 hectares of vineyards, equipped with modern facilities like thermos-regulated vats and a high-capacity bottling machine.

Exceptional Grapes from Unique Terroir

The vineyard's soil composition is primarily clay, complemented by limestone, which helps retain heat and supports the growth of high-quality grapes. Nestled on hills, the microclimate is ideal for cultivating grapes. The main varieties grown here are Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, divided into five distinct parcels. The grapes are harvested using a mechanical harvester, ensuring that only the finest fruit is selected for their renowned red, white, and rosé wines. Sancerre wines have a long-standing history and are celebrated for their unique flavors that reflect the terroir of the Loire Valley and the winery's meticulous winemaking techniques.
