Domaine Vincent Pinard Description
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.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2023 Harmonie is very finely constructed. It hails from two plots of old vines that fermented in large wooden vats and amphorae. This is delicately textured with a pear fruit-tinged profile verging on ripe pineapple. It is a very chalky, light-bodied and intense style. There's real push and pull to this with 13 months on lees providing extra texture. The 2023 is refined and balanced.
