Les Terres Blanches
Les Terres Blanches farms Sauvignon Blanc organically in Sancerre’s prized Kimmeridgian limestone slopes. The estate’s focus on soil health and biodiversity ensures balanced ripening and aromatic precision.
Fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel and neutral barrels captures the grape’s varietal purity. Lees stirring adds weight, while no oak seasoning allows minerality to shine.
Les Terres Blanches wines display lifted citrus and white-flower aromas, razor-sharp acidity, and a chalky, saline finish—exemplars of classic Sancerre.

Les Terres Blanches is a small, independent domaine rooted in the Loire Valley, known for producing natural wines that are vibrant, textured, and profoundly expressive of their terroir. The estate is committed to organic and biodynamic farming, working in harmony with nature to cultivate healthy vines and living soils.
The wines are made from a range of indigenous varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Gamay, grown on limestone-rich soils that give the wines their energy and mineral tension. In the cellar, the approach is gentle and transparent: spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, no fining or filtration, and minimal or no added sulfur.
Les Terres Blanches crafts wines that are fresh and precise, with a wild edge that reflects their natural origins. Whites are zesty and mineral-driven, while the reds are light, juicy, and full of character. Each bottle tells a story of place, purity, and a quiet rebellion against industrial winemaking.
