Luc Prieur (11th generation) continues the family legacy at Domaine Paul Prieur in Sancerre.
The estate is located at the top of the village of Verdigny, at the foot of the Monts Damnés hill.
After studying viticulture and oenology in Beaune, and gaining experience both in France and abroad, Luc returned to the family estate in 2012.
Now 35 years old, he is producing his 14th vintage this year.
The wines are certified organic, require significant manual labor, contain very little sulfur, are fermented with indigenous yeasts, and are unfiltered.
Like a kitchen brigade, Luc enjoys surrounding himself with a talented and committed team.
At present, major cellar renovations are underway to expand the use of large wooden vessels and extend the ageing process.
In the vineyard, the team is experimenting with and developing a high trellising system, a first in the region.
