Domaine francois millet sancerre loire Story Bernard and Pierre Millet created the Domaine in the 1930’s. Initially, the estate consisted of a farm with vineyards, crops and animals such as cows and goats. Bernard and Pierre realized the soils were perfectly adapted to vine- growing and decided to start making wine. François and Monique (2nd generation) took over the estate in 1980 and continued the e!orts of Pierre and Bernard by extending the estate to 21 hectares of vines planted with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. A few years ago, their son Nicolas joined the family estate. To protect the environment, the soils are worked sustainably to control weeds and reveal the potential of their terroirs. Grape variety 100% Sauvignon Blanc Terroir Calcareous terroir from the Oxfordian era (165M years ago), very stony. The soils are made of clay and limestone with important clay rates. There are some mounds of pebbles that are fossils dating back 150M years . This terroir is called « white land », which stands for the white color of the soil when it drys out after the rain. Average age of the vines of : 10-45 years old Winemaking Manual harvest early in the day. Use of a pneumatic press to preserve the quality.

The wine is then aged on its lees during 4 to 6 months in these vats to preserve oxydation. Filtration with keiselghur and bottling in the cellar 2 months before release. Ta s t i n g notes Color : pale yellow gold. Bouquet : Intense and complex. Mineral and light flint notes with ripe fruit aromas like plum, peach and citrus fruit. Ta s t e : Supple and round wine with nice mineral finish.

Notice Explicative
NOTICE EXPLICATIVE INTRODUCTION La région représentée sur la feuille Léré au 1/50 000 est presque entièrement située dans le département du Cher, quelques communes seulement, au Nord de la carte, étant rattachées au Loiret. Elle fait partie du Sud du Bassin parisien, entre la Sologne au NW et la vallée de la Loire à l'Est et se divise en plusieurs secteurs morphologiquement contrastés : — A l'Est, la plaine alluviale de la Loire avec les coteaux qui la dominent. Cette zone limitée à l'Ouest par la faille de Sancerre est une partie du fossé d'effondrement de la Loire. — Au delà de cet accident nord-sud, le compartiment occidental offre à l'étude une série de dépôts s'enfonçant régulièrement en direction du Nord-Ouest. a — Le Jurassique supérieur des collines du Sancerrois découpé par des vallons aux pentes accusées. Les marnes du Kimméridgien comprises entre deux niveaux calcaires y constituent un talus nette ment individualisé au milieu de plateaux secs et caillouteux. C'est le domaine du plant de Sauvignon qui produit les vins de Sancerre. b — Au delà, en direction de Vailly, le Crétacé inférieur argilo- sableux correspond à un paysage bocager plus humide : c'est la continuation de la Puisaye. c — Cette zone faiblement ondulée est couronnée par le ressaut de la craie cénomanienne puis par celui, beaucoup plus accusé, de l'Argile à silex. Cette formation correspond, à l'Ouest de la feuille, à une ligne continue de hauteurs peu fertiles et presque entièrement boisées. - 2 - A part la Loire qui ne fait que l'effleurer, la feuille Léré est traversée par divers cours d'eau.

DOMAINE VACHERON Sancerre Blanc 'Les Romains'
Wine Facts DOMAINE VACHERON Sancerre Blanc ‘Les Romains’ The Vacherons without question are Sancerre’s leading winemaking clan. From the family’s pioneering work in identifying and exploring the region’s top terroirs to their leading position in biodynamic viticulture, there are few if any artisans today in Sancerre as exacting or as respected. The estate’s peerless older vines, planted and cultivated by generations of family members, are cared for fastidiously. Yet it is the their single- vineyard wines, like ‘Les Romains’—terroir-based selections recalling the painstaking work of Burgundian monks in the Côte d’Or—that have shown the world the heights and complexity that Sancerre can reach. CERTIFIED ORGANIC WINERY: Domaine Vacheron WINEMAKERS: Jean-Laurent and Jean-Dominique Vacheron (cousins) ESTABLISHED: 1900 REGION: FRANCE • Loire Valley • Sancerre APPELLATION: Sancerre AOC BLEND: 100% Sauvignon Blanc VINEYARDS: Pure flint (silex) soils, rich in fossilized material; such soils contribute a minerality and smokiness to the wine. A full south-facing vineyard. ‘Les Romains’ was one of the domaine’s first ‘single-vineyard’ bottlings (the first vintage was 1997). AGE OF VINES: 40+ years WINEMAKING: Hand-harvested. Fermented on indigenous yeasts and aged in older French barrique. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. TASTING IMPRESSIONS: Aromas of crisp pears, lemon zest, wildflowers. Stone fruit and citrus, with a finish that echoes the terroir’s smoke and sea- salt notes. Complex and very age-worthy.

50084120 Fiou Sancerre Rouge 2018
DOMAINE(GÉRARD(FIOU( SANCERRE'ROUGE'2018( ! ( ! ! “When looking for a Sancerre to add to our portfolio,! we picked the village first” this statement can seem surprising but with 14 villages you have a lot of different expression of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. Florent Bourgeois’ tiny estate of 24 acres is based in Saint-Satur, the closest village of the appellation to the Loire River. Also called the port of Sancerre it benefits from the microclimate of the river providing optimum ripeness potential. The 4 only growers based in this single south-facing hillside are blessed with a unique Terroir rich in Flint. Long considered too hard to grow vines, this tiny portion of the Terroir of Sancerre (12%) is now a fascination for most of the growers, who, when they have the chance to own a parcel on this soil, don’t hesitate to bottle it separately to make their top cuvée. The thick stony layer on top of the vine has the ability to store the heat of the day and deliver it back throughout the night, this element, combined with the microclimate from the river, provide the very best maturity potential. If you want to know what minerality the flint bring to the wine just do what the prehistorical folks were doing, hit two rocks against eachother and you’ll smell this characteristic gun powder smell that the wine deliver. SOIL TYPE Flint and clay. Southwest exposure. VARIETAL 100 % Pinot Noir. Over 45 years old vines. CULTURE ! Low yielding of 35hl/ha to ensure an optimum maturity.

Sancerre White Aop « Les Montachins » Éric Louis
Sancerre white AOP « Les Montachins » Éric Louis 2018: an outstanding vintage with both quality and yield! What a satisfaction! After several years of harvests impacted by the vagaries of the weather, this 2018 vintage provokes a rare enthusiasm. The unusual weather of the year that turned to exceptional during the harvest, favored a perfect sanitary condition. The wines are delicious, incredibly balanced in white as in red, they promise a great vintage. After talking with the elders, we have never seen such a remarkable harvest in terms of both quality and quantity in Loire Valley. GRAPE VARIETY 100% sauvignon blanc THE STORY « Les Montachins » is made from a little parcel of less than one hectar growing on flinty steep slopes with an excellent exposure to sunlight. That is why the name of « Les Montachins » was given to this mount alike steep plot (Montachins). The plot is located on the village of Ménétréol-sous-Sancerre and has also retained a beautiful vineyard hut. In the XIXth, we can imagine the hard work on this steep slope, hence the presence of a vineyard hut to rest. TERROIR & FARMING Our sauvignon blanc is rooted in an only flint soil (silex). Many years ago, we chose to take the ambitious high road of ecological transition involving a reduction in the use of chemical products, the recovery of biodiversity, the preservation of the soil’s potential and the management of resources, particularly water. In 2019, our wine-estates has achieved HVE3 certification, a High Environmental Value farming certificate. We are now converting in organic practices under Ecorcert.

Bourges, Le 26 Juillet 2019 Madame Nadia Essayan, Députée Du Cher 4
Bourges, le 26 juillet 2019 Madame Nadia Essayan, Députée du Cher 4 rue Bobby Sands 18100 VIERZON Madame la députée, Depuis 2002, la DGFiP a perdu près de 40 000 emplois. Le gouvernement actuel affirme vouloir supprimer 50 000 emplois dans la Fonction Publique d’État. Par « sur-exemplarité », la DGFiP devrait supporter l’essentiel des suppressions d’emplois prévus dans la Fonction Publique d’État au travers des précédentes et futures loi de finances. Pour faire simple, les suppressions d’emplois dans la Fonction Publique d’Etat se concentrent uniquement sur la DGFiP, qui paye un très lourd tribut. Depuis 2005, ce sont 20 trésoreries de proximité qui ont fermé. En parallèle, des restructurations incessantes par concentration-fusion de structures ont été opérées accompagnées de suppressions d’emplois. Ce sont donc les missions qui étaient déjà mises à mal et le service public républicain réduit à l’état de déliquescence. Devant ce paysage en ruine, le Ministre Darmanin annonce le 6 juin 2019 par le biais de ses directeurs locaux son projet de « déconcentration de proximité de la Direction Départementale des Finances Publiques du Cher » : Le nombre de communes d’implantation des services passerait de 20 à 4 (en comptabilisant Avord) • Toutes les trésoreries rurales ferment. • 3 services de gestion comptable sont implantés : – à Vierzon pour la mission des trésoreries de Vierzon, Aubigny s/Nère, Les Aix d'Angillon, Baugy, Sancerre ; – à St Amand-Montrond pour la mission des trésoreries de St Amand-Montrond, St-Florent s/Cher, Sancoins, Châteaumeillant,

Sancerre White Aop Alphonse Dolly
Sancerre white AOP Alphonse Dolly Calloused, sculpted and designed by the hand-picking, reddened by the grape-juice, the Dolly’s hands did the work without complaint. His fingers, impregnated in the Sancerrois ground, have the taste of stones, dust and smoke. Each palm of Dolly’s hands tells the story of a whole life of work. His experienced fingers take delicately the vine-shoot to curve them very carefully, and then tie them gently on wooden stakes called “pessiau” in Sancerre dialect. His hands, his fingers, from the pruning to the harvest, forged silently the taste of the wine. A precise and meticulous work in the cellar always gives tailor-made wines. GRAPE VARIETY 100 % sauvignon blanc TERROIR & FARMING Our sauvignon is settled on the south east side of the Sancerre appellation and is grown on flinty and chalky-clayey soils. Our plots spread over 3 areas : Thauvenay, Ménétréol sous Sancerre and Vinon. Many years ago, we chose to take the ambitious high road of ecological transition involving a reduction in the use of chemical products, the recovery of biodiversity, the preservation of the soil’s potential and the management of resources, particularly water. In 2019, our wine-estates has achieved HVE3 certification, a High Environmental Value farming certificate. We are now converting to organic practices under (the label certification) Ecorcert. WINEMAKING We chose to harvest the grapes at night in order to help the concentration of the aromas, the flavors and to control the oxidation of the fruits. In order to optimize the quality of the crop, we keep our vines under constant observation : we limit our yields, start the harvest according to the maturity of each plot, hand-sort the grapes..
