DOMAINE DE TERREST E R R E S BBLANCHESL A N C H E S

. Bué-en- .

The embodiment of Saget La Perrière’s resolve to produce great wines, Domaine de Terres Blanches also symbolizes the commitment to quality which has been ingrained within the Saget family for generations. Like a diamond in the rough, it took the skilled work of men and in particular that of consultant, Stéphane Derenoncourt, and his team, to cut through to the quintessence of the Domaine’s magnificent terroirs. Convinced of Domaine de Terres Blanches’ potential, the man behind the project, Stéphane, and his team, have succeeded in drawing out the mineral expression of the Domaine’s white wines and the delicate character of its reds, thanks to exacting work in the vineyard and on its soil. With three appellations from Central , the property gives us a true recital of the varietal, brought out beautifully in the appellations of Sancerre, Pouilly Fumé and Coteaux du Giennois.
