The Story
The Prestige cuvée is a flagship white wine from Domaine La Gemière, a family-run estate founded by Daniel and Josette Millet in 1981. Now managed by their sons, Sébastien and Nicolas, the estate spans 18 hectares in the village of Crézancy-en-Sancerre. This specific bottling is typically sourced from Vieilles Vignes (old vines) grown on "Terre Blanche" (clay-limestone) soils, which provide greater depth and structure than the standard bottling. It is characterized by an intense and expressive nose of citrus fruits, white flowers, and fresh peach, balanced by a fleshy palate with vibrant minerality and a long, crisp finish.
