Our style
Great Wines,
great emotions
The Cellar Master lets his intuition guide him when selecting the finest terroirs from which to craft the future blends. With its modern and timeless style, Sainchargny strives to create wines that reflect its own personality and values: free, proud and defiant.
Sainchargny places the selection of the vineyard plots at the heart of its winemaking process.
Ever since its creation, the production of high-quality grapes has been the top priority for Sainchargny as this is the guarantee that its savoir-faire and the quality of its Crémants de Bourgogne will be preserved. The human factor is, and always has been, at the heart of its winemaking ethos.
Several months before the harvests, the cellar master and the teams in the winery and vineyards decide together which plots will be used for the future blends.
“Our philosophy consists of carefully selecting the most promising terroirs several months before the harvests. We work closely with our wine-growers from 22 different communes in order to discuss, analyse and decide upon the best way to bring out the unique and individual character of each plot. Maintaining the high quality of the vines and grapes is always our priority. This selection process allows us to create a rich and powerful aromatic palette that will be used for the crafting of our Crémants de Bourgogne.”
Marc Sangoy, wine-grower and President of Sainchargny
To only reveal the essential
“Each harvest is a crucial stage for Sainchargny as this is when an entire year’s work takes shape before our very eyes. The entire team rolls up its sleeves to ensure that pressing is carried out in the best conditions possible. Our 7 pneumatic presses allow us a high degree of freedom when extracting the juices. Extraction takes place at very low pressure in order to preserve the aromatic complexity of the future wines. It is like a new page being written with a multitude of expressions being created for our Crémants de Bourgogne. It is the meeting point between the pride taken in a job well done and the freedom to create a fine Burgundy wine.”
Grégoire Pissot, Cellar Master at Sainchargny
To grasp the invisible
“Respecting the work of the wine-growers is my priority. Each year brings us new surprises and it is an indescribable pleasure to be able to work with the raw materials. Revealing their potential to the world, the way I see it, is one of the greatest gifts I could offer. Each stage of the vinification process is carefully monitored in order to preserve and enhance the purity of the fruit whilst remaining true to the characteristics of the terroir, which is the pride of our wine-growers.”
Grégoire Pissot, Cellar Master at Sainchargny
The distinctive Sainchargny style
For Sainchargny, maintaining a style and a signature is the guarantee of longevity.
Every Sainchargny wine is an emotional tasting experience! Created in our heartland, Extatic and Catharsis have an uncommon style, promising you an exhilarating sensation of freedom. A unique experience and the unforgettable memory of pleasurable and exciting wines.
To choose one path rather than another, without compromising or conforming. To let oneself be guided by the ancient soils of our terroirs in order to retain only what is the most essential. The purity of the Chardonnay. The power of the Pinot Noir. The fruitiness of the Gamay. To see the pride in the eyes of our wine-growers who work hard each day to create the N°56 and N°82, the iconic wines from our heartland.
To know how to understand the times and make them one’s own. To create aspirational high-quality wines. Emérite and Immémorial are the culmination of pure talent, the reflection of our style and the signature of our brand. They remain defiant in the face of passing time in order to affirm their status as fine wines from Burgundy. Drinking our wines is like stepping into our heartland. This is because they are created in our image, free, proud and defiant!
