Located in the picturesque Sancerrois region, Eric Louis Winery has been crafting exceptional wines since 1860, when Eric's great-grandmother, Pauline, began selling her family's wine. Today, the winery honors her legacy with the special cuvee, ‘Cuvee Pauline,’ and the cellar named ‘Les Celliers de la Pauline.’ The winery has been passed down through generations, with each family member contributing their passion and expertise. Currently, Eric Louis oversees the winery, ensuring that each bottle reflects the family's traditions and the unique qualities of their terroir.
The vineyards span 32 hectares across the scenic slopes of Sancerre, encompassing the charming villages of Vinon, Thauvenay, and Menetreol sous Sancerre. The region's diverse terroir, featuring clay-limestone, flint, and sandy soils, imparts distinct characteristics to the wines. The unique microclimate supports the growth of healthy, flavorful grapes, including Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Gamay, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, and Chenin Blanc. These varieties are used to produce a range of high-quality red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines. The winery employs sustainable practices to maintain vineyard health throughout the year. With two vaulted cellars, one dedicated to red wine vinification in oak barrels and the other for aging the white Pauline Cuvee in acacia and oak barrels, Eric Louis Winery continues to honor its rich heritage while embracing modern winemaking techniques.

a very high quality visit to Marina! Thank you to her for her welcome, her smile... the great fluidity in the explanations during the visit, which allowed us to fully understand the work of the grapes. Bravo for her passion that she loves to share. To finish, there was a "real" tasting accompanied by local goat cheese, a delight!

We were highly recommended the tour by Sancerre Tourism office. Collected in the town in electric jeep and driven through the vineyards. Great audio accompaniment in English to the drive. Fascinating and pointed out all the important facts and places. Our driver Tibo could not have been more helpful and friendly. Had a lovely tasting under the trees with Mathilde. Her English was perfect, she answered every question we had and was again so friendly. An asset to the domaine. 2 hours in length. Great value. Stored our wine overnight so we could collect the next morning when leaving Sancerre. When we have a taste at home we will be reminded of the Sancerre vineyards. Thank you. The highlight of our holiday.
