The wine comes from 60-year-old vines that enjoy a southeast exposure. The soil is limestone, which gives the wine a distinctive mineral structure.
The grapes were hand-picked, carefully selected. After a gentle and slow pressing under low pressure, the juice settled naturally for 12-16 hours. Fermentation took place at a temperature of 15-20 °C, and the wine was aged for 12 months in 2-3 year old oak barrels.

The aroma is dominated by notes of grapefruit, hawthorn, fresh herbs and white pepper. The taste of the wine is round and rich at the beginning, later revealing a tense, salty and chalky structure, giving the wine verticality and longevity.
2022 was an exceptionally warm and dry year in the Sancerre region. These conditions led to an early harvest and lower yields, but the grapes were of high quality, concentration and intensity of aromas. Such conditions are particularly favorable for vines growing in limestone soils, such as those at Le Paradis, allowing the mineral character of the wine to emerge.

About the manufacturer

Family heritage and terroir Jean-Marie Reverdy & Fils is a family winemaking story that goes back 11 generations and dates back to the 19th century. Jean-Marie, his wife Catherine and sons Guillaume and Baptiste, live, work and make wines in their vineyards, located around the picturesque Sancerre hills. They make the most of the south-eastern, southern plots, where Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir varieties grow, planted in a variety of soils - from sandy "Terres à Silex" to calcareous "Caillottes" and chalky "Terres Blanches".
The Reverdy family has been working with the principles of more sustainable agriculture for over 20 years, they strive to apply responsible farming methods, and in 2020 they even received the HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) certificate for environmental protection. There is no deviation from naturalness: from grape selection to pressing and fermentation - every step is carried out with the utmost care. In this way, the true terroir is released in their wines, which are characterized by freshness, minerality and elegance.
