Domaine du Nozay
La Marâtre
The flagship wine of the Domaine, Domaine du Nozay is made from a blend of 3 single vineyards in Sancerre surrounding the winery all containing Kimmeridgian marls.
The famous terroir of Sancerre, known as “Terres Blanches” (white lands), promotes self-defense and good health for the vine. The 15 year old vines are planted on north facing slopes at 220 meters in elevation. Pruning, disbudding, and training techniques are used to create a favorable micro-climate. The soil is managed for the benefit of the biomass and the vine. The Domaine also experiments with sonic stimulation in the vineyards. Speaker towers emit tonal sequences throughout the day to enhance sap circulation and overall plant health.

A brilliant and intense color with golden reflections distilling elegant and discreet aromas of pink grapefruit, lychee, lemon, and especially of sliced yellow peach. With an ideal acidity carried by an admirably structured body, its refreshing notes of pear in syrup, give it a certain pleasure on the palate.
