THE WINE & THE REGION
Maison Belles Côtes’ vines are located around Buée, one of the most venerated vineyard in Sancerre.
Our Sancerre is produced from vines with an average age of 30 years, mainly planted on a Limestone soil locally called “les Caillottes”. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, aging on fine lees, no use of oak. A dry white wine with flowery fruits flavors on the palate, pleasantly combines smoothness and freshness.
