PINARD 2020 SANCERRE ROUGE VENDANGES ENTIERES VINCENT PINARD

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

PINOT NOIR

The “Vendanges Entières” cuvée is made from old Pinot Noir vines, flourishing on a clay-limestone soil of the place called “Les Pèlerines” on a plot of 35 ares. Perfectly ripe berries are sublimated here by an 18-month ageing in old Burgundy barrels. Small yields of only 25 hectolitres per hectare, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Raspberries, cherries, camphor and liquorice are revealed after a few minutes of opening. On the palate, the verticality is impressive, a very slender straight wine that offers juicy tannins.
