About the Winery
Pascal Balland is one of the last links in a long chain of winegrowers with many branches, rooted in Bué since the mid-17th century. He has been running this 9.5-hectare estate since 1984. The estate produces classic Sancerre wines: lemony, dry, mineral, aromatic, and lively. The fermentation is done in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks after pneumatic pressing, and the wine is aged on fine lees. His wines pair beautifully with fish, shellfish, and goat cheese.
