Winegrowers for several generations (1750), the Jean-Paul Picard et fils estate cultivates with passion its 14 hectares of vines, all located on the slopes of Bué which are among the best in Sancerre.

Having learned from the lessons of the past, they have been able to adapt modern techniques while preserving manual harvesting and artisanal know-how.

Since Mickael’s arrival on the farm in 2004, the estate has also been cultivating vines in the Menetou-Salon appellation to produce white and red wines.
