PRODUCER BACKGROUND

The vineyards of Nicolas Millet in the Sancerre Appellation of Loire have been providing outstanding grapes since the 1700s. The brothers Bernard and Pierre Millet acquired the land and began a family adventure in winemaking that has thrived and continues to the present day.

After studying wine in the legendary wine-producing region of Beaune, Nicolas Millet (son of François), took over the estate in 2010. Nicolas has continued the practice of respecting the traditions of wine-making while using innovative ideas. This includes organic, biodynamic, and regenerative agriculture farming techniques. The estate received its organic qualification in 2021.
