Villebois Sancerre
Sancerre is the name of the famous wine appellation but also the name of the beautiful medieval hilltop village overlooking the Loire river. The Villebois Sancerre sauvignon blanc is made from grapes grown on the siliceous-clayey soils (on the east side of the appellation, on the hills facing the Loire). This unique terroir gives to our wine the natural flinty tastes so characteristic of Sancerre.

The Villebois front and back labels are modern in color and shape and all bottles are closed with a Stelvin+ screwcap to avoid oxidation and off-tastes.
La Chardoisie sells its wines under the Appellation d’Origine Controlée (AOC) quality system. However, for some of our wines we chosen deliberately “Vin de Pays du Val the Loire” classification in order to have more flexibility and meet the international wine standards.
