Domaine Fournier Père & Fils
Established in 1926 in the hamlet of Chaudoux, within the commune of Verdigny, Domaine Fournier Père & Fils stands as one of the historic estates of the Sancerre appellation. The vineyard currently extends over approximately 39 hectares, distributed among 165 plots scattered across the various hills and slopes of the appellation area.
