Antoine de la Farge Sancerre

Winemaker Antoine de la Farge on the winery

“Wine has been part of my family for generations. I grew up among the vineyards of Menetou-Salon and, after years in the international wine trade, decided to return to my roots. I wanted to do more than talk about wine; I wanted to work the land myself. Today, I combine this family heritage with a fresh perspective on the Loire. My goal? To craft wines that express their origins with precision, elegance and a character of their own.”

And on Sancerre, France

“Sancerre is one of the Loire’s most distinctive wine regions. Here, Sauvignon Blanc thrives on a combination of limestone, clay and gravel soils, while the climate encourages freshness and slow ripening. For our Sancerre, everything revolves around purity and balance. We ferment the grapes at low temperatures and age the wine on fine lees, giving it added depth and texture alongside its lively acidity. This is how we capture the character of Sancerre in a single glass.”
