Winery: Michel Girault
Born into a family of winegrowers in the Sancerre region, based in Bué, a small village near Sancerre, Michel Girault established his estate in 1971 with a few plots in the Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé appellations. Starting with 4 hectares, the estate has grown over the decades and now comprises 17 hectares: 11 hectares in the Sancerre appellation, including 2.5 hectares of Pinot Noir, and 6 hectares in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation.
In 2007, Anthony Girault joined his brother Olivier, who had already been working on the property since the late 1990s. That same year, Domaine Michel Girault became Earl Michel Girault, with Anthony and Olivier taking over the management of the estate.
Domaine Michel Girault offers Sancerre wines in all three colors and two cuvées in the Pouilly-Fumé appellation.
Anthony and Olivier vinify all the wines produced by the estate in both appellations. All the wine is bottled at the estate and sold for export, at wine fairs in France, and directly from the estate.
The various Sancerre red and white wines, the Sancerre rosé, and the two Pouilly-Fumé wines from Domaine Michel Girault are regularly recognized by wine guides.
