Domaine du Nozay Description
Le Nozay is a small 17th-century castle near Sainte Gemme en Sancerrois in Sancerre. In 1970, Baron Philippe de Benoist and his wife Marie-Hélène settled in Château du Nozay and created Domaine du Nozay. They planted the first hectare of Sauvignon Blanc in 1971, which they later expanded to 15 hectares. Philippe was joined by his son Cyril, who now heads the estate. The Domaine du Nozay has been certified in Organic Agriculture since 2011 and in Biodynamics since 2017. It is a family wine estate in Sancerre, surrounded by peace and tranquility. The resulting wines reflect this.
WINE: Grown in Kimmeridgian marls – more calcareous on top of the slope and more clay at the bottom, 240 meters high with a northeast facing slope. The grapes come only from the plot that bears the same name.
Le Paradis expresses the freshness and liveliness of its terroir. It is Paradise that you have in your mouth. It presents a perfectly fragrant nose with floral notes, citrus, candied orange, spice and a nice roundness , endowed with great elegance and a beautiful length. On the palate we find a great mineral concentration of the Sauvignon with notes of exotic fruits and majestic acidity.
