The Sophie Bertin wines are the result of an inspiring collaboration between winemaker Éric Louis and Sophie Bertin, a true native of Sancerre.
The name "Sophie" means wisdom in Greek, and this partnership has led to the creation of wines that exude elegance, finesse, and a subtle feminine character.
Sophie Bertin represents a modern interpretation of the Loire Valley’s wine traditions, where innovation and respect for the terroir go hand in hand. The wines are crafted with passion and precision, offering an authentic taste experience that celebrates the region’s rich vinous heritage. Together, Sophie and Eric have created wines that combine softness and complexity.
The grapes for the Sophie Bertin wines are grown on the slopes near Sancerre, where the soil consists primarily of flint and calcareous clay. These soil conditions contribute to the wine's characteristic minerality and freshness.
The vineyard practices organic and sustainable farming with a focus on biodiversity and minimal use of chemicals, which is reflected in the wine's pure and authentic flavor profile.
The vinification is carried out with great care to preserve the grapes' natural aromas and freshness.
Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and the wine is aged on fine lees to develop complexity and depth.
The result is wines that are both elegant and expressive, with a fine balance between fruit and acidity.
