Since 2013, Florent has managed Domaine Gérard Fiou, drawing on his family heritage, background, and global winemaking experiences to create expressive and exceptional terroir wines, renowned among Sancerre's finest. The Domaine, spanning 9.8 hectares, is planted with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.

Situated on a flinty hillside with clay-siliceous soil in Saint-Satur, near the Loire River and the peak of Sancerre, this estate benefits from the rare and distinctive flint terroir, making up 20% of Sancerre's terroirs, alongside "terres blanches" (40%) and "caillottes" (40%)

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Sauvignon Blanc from old Sauvignon vines planted on the famous flinty hillsides of Saint-Satur, covering the easternmost part of the Sancerre region.

Taste Profile: This white Sancerre has aromas of gunflint and a spicy bouquet, powerful in fruit and body, reminiscent of Sauvignon flowers and vine sap. With an exemplary balance, finesse and harmonious expression, it develops all its elegance as it matures in bottle.

Winemaking Process: Vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, this wine is aged on its fine fermentation lees, which are regularly put back into suspension by stirring for over 6 months.
