Domaine Paul Prieur et Fils is a family-run estate in Verdigny, at the heart of the Sancerre appellation in the Loire Valley. With roots going back eleven generations, the domaine combines deep tradition with a modern, thoughtful approach to winemaking. Now fully certified organic (as of 2022), the estate is led by Luc Prieur, who is passionate about expressing the unique character of their varied terroir.
The estate farms 19 hectares—14 planted to Sauvignon Blanc and 5 to Pinot Noir—spread across the classic Sancerre soil types: caillottes (limestone pebbles), silex (flint), and terres blanches (clay-limestone). This diversity gives their wines nuance and complexity, making them standouts among Loire Valley offerings.
Their Sancerres are precise, fresh, and mineral-driven. They’re fermented with native yeasts and mostly aged in stainless steel, with a small portion in oak to add subtle texture. The result is a vibrant, citrusy wine with floral notes and clean acidity—perfect with goat cheese, shellfish, or simply on its own.
With limited production and a strong sense of place, Domaine Paul Prieur et Fils offers wines that are elegant, expressive, and made with integrity—ideal for any serious wine list.
