Ines Lauverjat was only 23 years old when she started her own Domaine in Sancerre. She could have worked with her parents from Domaine Alain and Ines Lauverjat in Menetou Râtel.

After a few years in Beaune to learn viticulture, vinification and vineyard managment she got a training period in Sancerre with Domaine Henri Bourgeois. While there she got the opportunity to take over a tiny vineyard in « les Rossignols » next to Menetou-Râtel , her village. She jumped on it and with the help of the family she took over the reins of the really old and devastated vineyard. 2,5 hectares : 0,2ha being red and 0,28ha of old vines of white of 1947.

Gradually, she will take over the 10 hectares owned by her parents. It is interesting to hear how she is already respected among the growers of the prestigious appellation.
