The Berry and Nivernais regions are those at the end of Burgundy or the beginning of the Loire Valley in the centre of the Loire region that are least affected by the oceanic influence. The vines must be sheltered from the north wind, especially in winter.
These climatic conditions and the predominantly limestone soil are ideal for the Sauvignon grape variety.
This grape variety produces the great white wines of Sancerre (Berry), Pouilly-Fumé and other appellations such as Menetou-Salon, Quincy and Reuilly, to name but a few. Red and rosé wines are also produced here.
The Nivernais region, meanwhile, produces white wines from the Chasselas grape variety, which is used to make Pouilly-sur-Loire.
Burgundy and Nivernais
Burgundy was united with France by Louis XI in 1477 and Nivernais by Louis XVI.
Burgundy is a vast and rich province. Vineyards cover all the eastern slopes of the hills overlooking the plain to the west, producing universally renowned red and white wines.
Near Cosne-sur-Loire is the town of Pouilly-sur-Loire and its magnificent vineyards. But also the town of Sancerre (Berry), which dominates the panorama of the Loire Valley. Cosne-sur-Loire is surrounded by prestigious names and vineyards that are unique in the world. Here, we enter the Loire Valley.
