Domaine Sauvète: A Tradition of Excellence

Domaine Sauvète: A Legacy Since 1905

Founded in 1905, Domaine Sauvète is nestled in Monthou Sur Cher, right in the heart of the picturesque Loire Valley. Spanning 17 hectares, the vineyard's white wine grapes flourish on the Mardelle and Bocagerie plateaus, while the red wine varieties thrive on the hills of Toucheronde. The unique clay-siliceous soil contributes to the exceptional quality of the wines produced here.

Crafting Quality Wines with Care

The terroir at Domaine Sauvète is enriched with pebbles such as perron, flint, and spongy materials, creating an ideal environment for grape cultivation. The vineyard is home to Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin, and Chardonnay grapes for white wines, while Gamay, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Pineau are grown for reds. To ensure optimal ripeness, vineyard workers hand-remove leaves and any underperforming grapes, allowing sunlight to reach the fruit. Manual harvesting preserves the grapes' integrity, and each cuvée is vinified separately to highlight its unique characteristics. The crisp flavors of Domaine Sauvète wines stem from the high-quality grapes and a controlled fermentation process that maintains a harmonious balance of aromas.
