Michel Girard, with sons Philippe and Benoit, produce outstanding wines from 30 acres of estate vines planted in all three of Sancerre's distinct soil types; silex, caillottes and terre blanches. Their Sancerre Rouge, with the affable and talented Philippe Girard helming the winemaking, showcases the attribute of all the soils; a Pinot Noir with alluring aromas, a soft, but fresh palate and clean, crisp finish.
