Les Garennes
Vineyard
Les Garennes is a 2-hectare plot with south-western exposure in the village of Vinon. The terroir of "Caillotes" (large limestone stones), on which the Sauvignon Blanc vines are planted, is highly reflective of daylight. As a result, the berries ripen quickly and evenly to produce this floral, spicy Sancerre Blanc.
