Since the early 19th century, the Domaine La Croix Saint Laurent’s proprietors’ passion for winemaking has been passed from one generation to the next. The estate is nestled among rolling hills, in the winemaking village of Bué, just a few kilometres from Sancerre toward Bourges. The 9.5 ha (23.5 acres) property benefits from a south-western exposure and a unique microclimate, due to its proximity to the Loire river and altitude. The vineyards of Bué are the very best of the Sancerre Appellation d’Origine Controlée (AOC).

Located 200 kilometres (125 miles) south of Paris, the Sancerre area is characterized by rolling hills 200 to 400 meters high. Sancerre’s vineyards, comprising about 2700 ha (6700 acres), cover the upper slopes. With the Loire river to the east and large forests to the west, the vineyards benefit from a relatively temperate microclimate.
