Sancerre Chêne Marchand, Domaine Vincent Pinard 2018

Slightly deeper colour than Petit Chemarin although similar limpid texture in the glass. Looks extremely concentrated, in fact. slightly riper on the nose and more generous, complete with a return to the florality over pure mineral dust. Has a green apple character more so than grapefruit and is riper and richer on nose and palate. superb inner mouth perfume – this extends the possibilities of Sauvignon Blanc and is backed up by an extraordinary texture – it is like silk. Although the wine is slightly more flamboyant and larger in scale it is still underpinned by whip smart structuure and a chalky mineral tone. Beautufully rounded wine. Long. Complete
