Domaine Vincent PINARD - Sancerre Blanc - Nuance 2018
Domaine Vincent Pinard is a producer based in Sancerre, in the Loire Valley of France. The estate spreads over 17 hectares of vines (Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir), cultivated organically. The Sauvignon Blanc was planted in the 1960s, on limestone soils and the Pinot Noir, which average age is 40 years, benefits from the clay-limestone soils.
