A mythical place in Sancerre, La Perriere's reputation comes not only from the quality of its wines, but also from the fact that its location is magical and timeless, leaving 40,000 visitors spellbound every year.

Pale gold hue with bluish crystalline tints. After revealing mineral notes on the nose, the wine opens with a perfect balance of alcohol and acidity on the palate. This Sauvignon Blanc shows a nice taut structure, lovely persistence on the palate with notes that are almost saline.
Ideally pairs with seafood, grilled prawns, pike perch, asparagus, Lyon-style pike quenelles, goat cheese or as an aperitif.

The Saget family has great respect for the history and identity of La Perrière and decided to turn it into a temple dedicated to the Sauvignon blanc and Pinot noir grape varieties. In so doing, it aims to unravel and reveal the mysteries they hold within them, drawing its inspiration from different generations and developing in-depth knowledge of the Central Loire grape varieties. Their knowledge of Sauvignon blanc and Pinot noir has therefore naturally led them to explore every aspect of the varietals and fully reveal their potential. The Saget family thus set off in search of the finest Sauvignon blancs and Pinot noirs, armed with both passion and rigour. Their painstaking selection coupled with wine growing expertise have produced wines showing impeccable balance, combining richness and elegance. La Perrière creation wines exemplify a straightforward approach to grape varieties, as evidenced by one of the house’s flagship labels, La Petite Perrière. The Classics on the other hand demonstrate the purity and minerality of terroir-driven Sauvignon blanc and Pinot noir from appellations whilst the Icons – namely the Mégalithe & Sacrilège labels – take the grape varieties into the realms of age-worthy fine wines.
