Anecdotes about the domain
My meeting with the young French-Japanese artist Kanta Desroches led us to the artistic creation of the visual of the Angel SIDH vintage "the bunch". As Kandinsky wrote: "to create a work of art is to create a world". This visual is a contemporary reflection of the Sancerre PDO wine, its heritage and my know-how. Like the personality of the wine, the artist wanted to create something more detailed and go further in the representation of the terroir.
The domain's short story
The vineyard draws its history from the terroir of the commune of Montigny and its rural landscape where the village, in its current form, appears on the hillsides around 1139. Montigny is one of the fourteen municipalities that claim to have the "Sancerre" registered designation of origin, initially recognised by the decree of 14 November 1936. The estate is composed of the parcels of the Maudris, Les Chevaux de Bois cadastral section and a small part of the Cote Verte on the Montigny hill. The vines were planted between 2005 and 2008 and had not been replanted since 1886, the year phylloxera first appeared in the Sancerre vineyard.
The winemaker's pride
Nestled atop the southern and western slopes of the Montigny hill forming an island of Sancerre appellation, Domaine Angel Sidh produces a confidential range of wines. Here, "Sidh" refers to the Other World. It is located under the plots of the hill which are imperceptible residences of life where the roots of each vine draw the taste of the origin of the wine. Wines from sustainably grown vines harvested in 2016 received TERRA VITIS certification.
