One foot in the Giennois, the other in the Sancerrois. Émile Balland has vines in his blood. And that's an understatement, since his family has had a wealth of expertise since 1650. He himself went to study oenology in the great pink city of the South-West and then went, not to the coal mine, but to the vine shoot, to carry high the colours of the grapes grown and gleaned. Sauvignon and Pinot Noir transpire tender Sancerre, white or red. With a Gamay, we capsize in the Coteaux-du-Giennois, reds and rosés. A winegrower's happiness!
