André Dezat is one of the characters of Sancerre and he is known locally and throughout most of the Loire as 'le p’tit d' (‘dieu’). His two very capable sons are in charge, Louis in the cellars and Simon in the vineyards. Both his daughters-in-law, Sylvie and Nadine run a very efficient office.
The white wine is outstanding; mouthfilling, steely and packed with gooseberries. Their 20 hectares are superbly situated around five villages. Again, low yields, and enormous care in the vineyards and cellars make for only the finest Sancerre. The Sancerre Blanc is fermented and matured in stainless steel.
