About the winemaker
The Paul Thomas estate is led by Raphaël Thomas and is located in the middle of the by far best village in the Sancerre appellation: Chavignol. The domain, like many other houses, makes mainly white wines from sauvignon blanc. Rapahël aspired to a different career, but when his father died suddenly in 2000, he returned to Chavignol, to continue the domain. In total, the domain makes about 90,000 bottles, 75% of which are white wines. Most important wine is the Les Comtesses of Monts Damnés, a monopole on the Monts Damnés next to, for example, Clos la Néore of Domaine Edmond Vatan. A wine with enormous ageing potential.

Details
| Vineyard | Grapes for this wine come from vineyards in Saint-Satur. Here in the east of the appellation, the soil consists mainly of flint and this is therefore the namesake of the cuvée. The soil consists mainly of calcareous clay and the age of the vines averages 25 years. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | After the manual harvest, the grapes are destemmed, pressed and vinified. The must then goes into temperature controlled vats, where a low temperature allows for slow fermentation and for very fine aromas. The wine stays on the lie for 6 months. |
