Pierre Morin Description
Tasting Note: Light pink with vibrant, finesse-driven notes of framboise, rose petal, wild flowers, and hints of orange blossom. Medium-bodied, supple, elegant, and lively, with almost racy acidity, this graceful and finely built rosé is ideal for summer drinking. It has the freshness to shine on its own, yet has the complexity and class to be a great start to a meal.
Pierre Morin harkens back to the past with the certainty that great wine can only be made from low yields and grapes harvested by hand. Pierre practices organic viticulture. Chene Marchand is the richest most fruitful of his parcel-selected cuvées. The Cuvée Ovide is from a parcel of 65 year old vines on "Caillotte," which adjoins the village of Bué. Chant de l'Orme, from 50+ year old vines on a parcel in Lieu dit Les Grands Champs, nearer Sancerre, is partially vinified in older demi-muids. For all wines in all vintages, Morin practices Lutte Raisonée farming of the vines, never using herbicides or chemical fertilizers. He sets aside his oldest vines from various parcels, including Chene Marchand which makes the richest most intense wine he offers. The Vieilles Vignes cuvée is very ripe, complex and just the paradigm of Sancerre on the nose. On the palate it is concentrated, tight and profound with a perfect mosaic of fruit and mineral tones and an exquisite finish.
