Today, Philippe and Luc Prieur, the father and son duo, run the estate. They winery has 13.5 ha of Sauvignon Blanc planted on the limestone terroirs of Verdigny and Chavignol on soils Caillottes and Terres Blanches, respectively. They also have plots in the village of Thauvenay which contain Silex soil. The signature Sancerre Blanc of the winery is a blend of grapes planted on these three soil types. 

The ‘Caillottes’ soil is made of small limestone pebbles mixed with clay and dating from the Kimmeridgian era. This terroir is known for its aromatic intensity and airy wines. Terres Blanches is a calcareous clay with Kimmeridgian limestone. It gives wine power and complexity, a solid backbone when being used in a blended wine. Silex contains a high proportion of flint, it gives wine a rich, flinty minerality.
