“Cul de Beaujeu” is the deformation of “Clos de Beaujeu”, a vineyard cleared in the early Middle Ages by the monks of Beaujeu.
This hillside, with its exceptional terroir, of Kimmeridgian marls, is the only one in the Sancerre vineyard, before phylloxera, to produce wine reserved for divine services at the Cathedral or offered to princes and archbishops.
Domaine Vincent Delaporte is the only one to produce "Cul de Beaujeu" in Pinot Noir.
