The winegrowing tradition has been perpetuated in the Chotard family for over two centuries. Currently Daniel and Bridget Chotard manage the estate and produce several award winning wines. Their vines cling to the Sancerre region’s clay-limestone slopes. “Our Sancerre is authentic and bold. We respect the uniqueness of its AOC terroir so you can fully savour all it has to offer. ”

Coming from a family that has been winemaking for more than five centuries, Daniel Chotard was a teacher before coming back into viniculture. As an accordion and guitar player, he is also the founder of the festival “Jazz aux Caves”, so he knows the tempo of Sauvignon. His vineyards are situated on fine sediment soils resulting in rich wines that still allow for the minerals to show through.
