Berthier
Jean-Marie Berthier, a highly skilled wine producer from Loire valley, created this estate in the early 1980s. Today, his two sons Clment and Florian have taken over the domaine to produce a distinctive range of wines, covering a variety of styles and Loire appellations as the estate has expanded. Having previously worked in Burgundy, New Zealand and the USA, Clment and Florian brought a modern approach; looking to produce clean, precise wines which display a distinct sense of their origins. In 1998 the Berthier family purchased the Montbenoit estate in Cteaux du Giennois. Cteaux du Giennois is a tiny 191 hectare region and only a recent appellation, despite archaeological evidence of winegrowing from the 2nd century in the area. The wines from here can offer a great value and more fruit-driven alternative to their famous neighbours of Sancerre and Pouilly. Half of the vines for this wine grow on silex soil from the town of St Pe`re, the rest on on limestone & clay soils in Pougny, alongside the river Loire. These different soils combine to bring complexity to the wines. The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled vats to retain freshness then aged on its lees for few months before bottling to build extra weight and complexity.
