Notes from Lay & Wheeler:

"Luc Prieur took over the running of his family estate in Verdigny, Sancerre, at the age of 21, having finished his studies in Beaune. Over the past few years he has taken this well liked, classic producer of reliable Sancerre to the very top of the appellation, with its name now whispered about among the greats of Sancerre. His single vineyard wines in particular have earned him plaudits. Through his dedication in the vineyard, and the use of gentle techniques in the cellar, he is coaxing fine expressions from his distinctive terroirs, and offering wines of outstanding value.

Located around the village of Thauvenay on clay and silex soils.
