I am off to Sancerre next week, and have quite a full appointment list but I think that I could slip a couple of people in. Just wondering whether there were any properties that are "undiscovered" that really should be visited. Any thoughts would be welcomed.

Who is on your itinerary? I just want to avoid recommending someone who is already on your list. I'll also have Bruce Schneier (eGullet name "schneier") look at this post. He recently returned from several months in the Loire.

I would try and visit Domaine Thomas-LaBaille

Single vineyard old vine sancerre "Les Monts Damnes".

BTW, several Sancerre producers source Les Monts Damnes. I know you knew that, but the rest reading might not.

Unfortunately this is well represented in the UK by Fields who are owned by berry Bros! Think now that we might have filled our appointments

Never heard of Lemain-Pouillot. Some Tissier comes into the U.S., but I've never had it. A few missing that you may want to visit if you have time are Alphonse Mellot, Jean-Paul Picard, Roger Moreux, and Francois Cotat (although these are hardly "undiscovered").

Cotat and Henri Bourgeois would be my choices.

Cotat and Bourgeois are as you say not "undiscovered" and are well represented. Think that Lemain-P used to be a baker and took over from his father. It was a friends choice to see (I share shipping with his company to lessen overheads and stock holdings).

but the Alphonse Mellot, Jean-Paul Picard and Roger Moreux may be worth a look! Many thanks.
