Just a few miles north of the super popular Sancerre lies the hidden treasure of Coteaux du Giennois. Little known outside of France, it has been producing wine since the 2nd century, and vineyards here were given as gifts by the French royal court as early the 800s. Vineyards have the same classic Sauvignon Blanc terroir of Sancerre and Pouilly without the trappings of fame.
