In a few words ...
Les Pénitents, a cuvee produced from a vineyard that was almost destroyed by phylloxera in the late 19th century but whose renown goes back to the 12th century, when it was planted and farmed by Cluniac monks, who were gifted the land by Etienne, Count of Sancerre. Now reduced in size to some fifty hectares, it was brought back to life in the late 1980s thanks to the dedication of winegrowers in love with their art. Located on the hillsides of Nièvre just thirty-five kilometres from the family's Sancerre base and classified as IGP Côtes de la Charité, the vineyard is crossed by the Way of Saint James of Compostela - whence the cuvee's name.
