A rising star in Sancerre, Domaine des Chasseignes, led by Aurore Dezat and David Girard, is turning heads with its precision-crafted wines. This young estate, which has quickly made a name for itself over the past few vintages, focuses on a small, high-quality production, primarily destined for export—making it a rare find in France.

Working organically, they showcase the full diversity of Sancerre’s terroirs, from the chalky terre blanche to the stony caillotte and flinty silex soils. Their range is mostly white wines, with a handful of reds, all defined by their purity, finesse, and elegance.
