Pinard Sancerre Florès 2021

Based in the prestigious town of Bué, known for its Kimmeridgean terres blanches soils, Domaine Vincent Pinard continues a 20-generation tradition of winemaking in Sancerre. The current domaine, founded in 1996, is now helmed by Florent and Clémente, taking over from their father, Vincent. The winery is more innovative than ever before, while still maintaining the natural winemaking practices that have been followed for hundreds of years. Florent and Clément are laser-focused on creating wines with a sense of place, specializing on site-specific cuvées that are different expressions of this special terroir. Incorporating the use of new and used oak (an unusual form of elévage for Sauvignon Blanc), the Pinards are creating wines that have weight and depth, a far cry from the straightforward Sancerres produced by so many others.
