Many critics are already calling this Sancerre’s best in the past couple of decades, and based on a single glass of this gorgeously intense, fresh, and unendingly complex pinot noir – we can certainly see why! A single plot from a sloped vineyard of 25+-year-old pinot noir vines, all grown on the region’s revered Terres Blanches soils of crumbled limestone and chalk – this wine floats out of the glass with stunning floral notes of violets and roses, followed by bright cherries, cranberry compote, wild mushrooms, and sweet summer strawberries. Velvety smooth and only going to improve more and more over the next decade!
About The Producer
Since its establishment in 1991, the Domaine has diligently cultivated vineyards across 20 hectares of gently sloping and fallow terrain within the esteemed Sancerre appellation. Additionally, they have meticulously nurtured 3 hectares in Menetou-Salon. This expansive vineyard is strategically distributed across 35 plots, strategically positioned on the three significant Sancerrois terroirs, benefiting from the optimal sun exposure of south and southeast-facing hillsides.
The composition of the land is a true testament to the typicity and diversity of the Sancerre region, featuring a well-balanced distribution of soil types. Approximately 10% of the vineyard is comprised of Flint soil, imparting distinctive characteristics. The majority, about 50%, is Caillottes, rich in limestone, contributing to the wine's unique profile. Additionally, 40% of the land boasts the white soil variety, collectively fostering a remarkable blending complexity and elegant subtlety in the wines produced by this esteemed winery.
