Importer Peter Weygandt explains:
Sacy is a tiny hamlet near Crézancy and Bue. Karine Millet has just recently taken over the family domaine which includes four hectares of vines. Karine practices polyculture, the historical practice in Sancerre. Cow manure from the farm is used in the vineyards. The domaine is presently in conversion to certified Organic. Karine practices sustainable viticulture - no herbicides or pesticides - and the soil here is all Teres Blanches. Vines average 30 years with some 45 years and one parcel 65 years old.
Her Pinot Noir is an especially small plot with some of Millet’s oldest vines (almost all of the Pinot in Sancerre was replace with Sauvignon Blanc after phylloxera) – and makes one of the most exquisite rosé Sancerres you can find.
Again, this superb 2021 vintage – which is just starting to strut its stuff – sold out everywhere else at $34. And we have the last 62 bottles anywhere.
