The Village of Montigny



Thirty kilometers from the cathedral city of Bourges, 15 kilometers southwest of Sancerre by the D 955 road and the D 44 (Michelin map number 78 - C4), you come to a little village settled on a gently sloping hillside. Montigny, a typical village of the Berry region with its stone and stucco houses trimmed in brick and topped with slate roofs, nestled at the foot of the village's XIth century Romanesque church.

Montigny is one of 13 communities in the Sancerre area that were designated Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) Sancerre in the first decree of 1936 for white wine produced from Sauvignon Blanc and in 1959 for red and rose wines produced from Pinot Noir.
