Pierre Dezat has been the exclusive supplier of Sancerre to the Troisgros brothers since the late Jean Troisgros discovered him some thirty years ago. Together with his son Alain, Pierre produces wine in the same superb Dezat family style and perhaps produces the finest Rose. He bottles later than most growers do as most of his land is terre blanche; the wines take longer to come round (12 x 75 cl)

A Pinot Noir from limestone, chalk and kimmeridgean clay soils it is aged in 55% barriques and 45% cuve. Delightful cherry blossom nose, sleek, svelte ripe Pinot fruit of cherries and summer berries, with a good lively, juicy finish. Bon Viveur Gilles Crochet, son of Lucien, looks after winemaking duties at this Estate. The winery is ultra modern, fitted out with the very latest temperature controlled fermentation vessels. The emphasis is on creating wines of finesse and complexity that are faithful to terroir and vintage. The vineyards are located around the towns of Bue, Sancerre and Crezancy, the finest of which is the south-facing limestone-based Chene Marchand vineyard. Gilles makes his wines as naturally as possible using indigenous yeasts and through hand picking, careful selection of the grapes and long, slow ageing sur lie produces taut, sophisticated and age-worthy Sancerre.
