Vendanges Entières
On a great Loire vintage, the great vintage of Pinot Noir Vendanges entières, with the stalks of the stalk, partly cut with scissors! Great wine.
Tasting comment
"Tannin both juicy and floral with the smoothness and intensity of the vintage, there is already a lot of sparkle in the mouth." 18/20 Bettane et Desseauve Guide 2018
Bursting with finesse and acidulous fruit, a supple and greedy pinot noir perfect for discovering the style of a very fine red Sancerre...

The Estate
Based in Bué, the Pinard family, now led by Clément and Florent but still under the watchful eye of their father Vincent, is continuing its spectacular progress towards excellence, with organic farming and a demanding desire to transcribe each specific terroir as well as possible.
The Sauvignon parcels are now at an exceptional level, neck and neck with two or three other estates in the appellation.
The Pinot Noir still has no equivalent... and remains a very rare item...
