Kevin et Karine Lauverjat (Moulin des Vrilleres) Sancerre 2025 012626OFFER and it doesn't need toMoulin des Vrillres was an actual mill: the Lauverjats ground wheat beside the Belaine long before anyone knew them for wine, and neighbors in Sury en Vaux still call the domaine by the mill's name. Kevin came home in 2019, after studying in Beaune, to work alongside his mother Karine across 13 hectares of Sancerre, farmed with grass cover between the rows and seaweed sprays that have cut their chemical mildew treatments by about a third since 2008.
