with a chalky mineral character draped over yellow plum and peach fruit

this wine beautifully displays rich black fruit balanced perfectly with the supple tannins

Dense but light on its feet

tuffeau soils

and baking spices anchor a panoply of vineyard flavors

Vincent Pinard Sancerre Nuance - 2017 Wine Books with a chalky mineral characterFrom 40 year old vines grown on Caillottes terroir (small stones over limestone) in Bu, selected from the vineyards of both Petit Chemarin and Le Chteau. The fruit is hand picked, hand sorted and then whole bunch pressed to tank for a cool and slow fermentation lasting about 4 weeks. The wine is aged on fine lees for 9 months in approximately two thirds tank and one third larger format, second use barrels.
