Gérard Millet

France · Loire Valley

Domaine Gerard Millet is in the village of Bué in Sancerre, which is considered one of the very best villages in the appellation. The winery is currently run by Steve Millet. He oversees their 19 hectares in Sancerre and six hectares in Menetou-Salon (a notably smaller and less famous appellation compared to Sancerre). The main soil is Kimmeridgian marl and flint.

Millet’s farming is sustainable and both the vineyards and the winery are certified HVE3. Millet does not use insecticides, herbicides or anti-botrytis treatments. In the cellar, fermentations are mainly in stainless steel; the exceptions are for the single-vineyard wines, which are spontaneously fermented and aged in neutral oak barrels of 400 to 600 liters.
