DOMAINE EMILE BALLAND
Domaine Emile Balland farms 8 hectares across the communes of Bué and Amigny in the Cher, on the caillottes and clay-limestone soils that define the finest Sancerre terroirs. Emile Balland comes from a family rooted in Bué since 1650; a trained oenologist, he founded his own estate in 1999 after the enforced sale of the family domaine, beginning on the Coteaux du Giennois before returning fully to Sancerre. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this estate for the technical precision Emile brings to every parcel, the typicity of his terroirs, and the consistency of his Sauvignon Blanc whites and Pinot Noir reds alike. A serious reference for anyone seeking a grower's Sancerre genuinely anchored in its land.
