The family farm that grew grapes, grain, tobacco and raised livestock. In 1960, their son Serge took charge of vines to concentrate on viticulture and winemaking. The Domaine is now run by Serge's children, Franck, who’s been making the wine since 1990, and daughter Christine. The estate’s 21 hectares of vines of the Domaine are approximately 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Pinot Noir. The terroir is stony and limestone based which provides the wines with mineral notes and hints of gunflint. The wines of are very aromatic and develop floral and fruity notes. The siblings practice sustainable agriculture and grow grass between the vine rows encouraging the roots to grow deeper. This technique also reduces erosion and tempers the natural vigor of the vines. Franck further reduces yields by de-budding in the spring and pruning heavily. The winery was renovated and enlarged in 2006 and is located in Thauvenay, outside of Sancerre. . . . . . . . #domainesergelaloue #sancerrerouge #loirevalley #pinotnoir #frenchwine #redwine #france #bordeauxwine #winelover #pinot #loire #loirevalleywines #amelieupperwestside #delicious #deliciouswine #wineislove #nyc #nyclife #nycmanofmanytalents #outrageouslydelicious #nyc #nyc🗽 #nyclife #nyclifestyle #scenefromny #scenefromnyc #newyorkcity #newyorkcitylife #upperwestside (at Amelie Upper west) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8CE12lnLws/?igshid=x2l9jxg2azv4
