Located between Méreau and Brinay and isolated in the middle of the fields of cereals, Domaine Gerard Bigonneau vinifies both AOC Quincy and Reuilly. This estate, from a family-owned agricultural and wine-growing estate, has been in existence for several generations. At the turn of the 80s, Gerard Bigonneau seized the opportunity to build a vineyard on the slopes of the town of Reuilly. The vineyard covers 16 hectares and makes it possible to turn their passion into a profession that brings pleasure and subtlety.
In 2006, he consolidated his efforts and built a purpose built cellar on La Chagnat and brought in his daughter, Virginie to take control of production. Prior to this, Virginie had been the oenologue at the Cave Brinay, having studied in Dijon as well as having work experience in cellars in Champagne, Burgundy and Alsace. The consolidation to a single cellar and the arrival of Virginie, however, has brought about a real focus to the wines.
100% Sauvignon Blanc
The harvest is crushed and destalked then it is pressing at a low pressure. When the must is fined, it will stay in temperature controlled tanks at 65° F. It is aged on the lees in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks.
This is a soft wine, full of ripe apple and white currant fruit flavors. It’s fresh , but also has a steely edge that gives a strong texture.
