Domaine Vincent Pinard

Domaine Vincent Pinard

Domaine Vincent Pinard

  • France Loire
Domaine Vincent Pinard is located in the village of Bué, in the heart of Sancerre. Widely known as Sancerre`s best producer, the Pinard family owns some of the region`s best vineyard sites over just 15 hectares of vines, including prized holdings in the famous Clos du Chêne Marchand site.

Florent and Clément the 15th generation of the family run the estate today. Their father Vincent must be incredibly proud as they craft some of the most exciting wines in the appellation. In addition to their exceptional plots, the quality is due to a combination of low yields, hand-harvesting and modern winemaking techniques. They are currently in conversion to organic, but have practiced biodynamically in the vineyard for many years.

The brothers have been managing their vineyard sites in line with soaring temperatures in recent vintages while maintaining elegance and structure where others have struggled. Clément and Florent note the long-established nurture and balance of the biodiversity in their vineyards, which is now producing wines with lower alcohol levels, a strong acid backbone and an emergence of a discerning saline element to the wines. Being highly sought after there is but one downside, not enough of these fantastic wines to go around!
