Sancerre Grand Chemarin 2022, Vincent Pinard
A monumental white for charisma, breadth, and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates between noble citrus and extremely refined mineral and floral notes. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the strength of the vintage and the verticality of the sip. A stylistic achievement that represents the absolute pinnacle of Sancerre.
Sancerre Grand Chemarin 2022, Vincent Pinard
The Sancerre "Grand Chemarin" 2022 by Vincent Pinard is a monumental work, an expression of Sauvignon Blanc that transcends the varietal to become pure terroir. Coming from a historic parcel of caillottes (Kimmeridgian limestone stones), this wine benefits from meticulous viticulture and a noble aging in wood that sculpts its body without clouding its soul. The 2022 vintage is a sunny year that the Pinard brothers have mastered brilliantly, maintaining an impressive vertical tension. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of lime, hawthorn flowers, and white peach blend with deep hints of chalk, silica smoke, and a mineral trail reminiscent of wet flint. On the palate, it is powerful, sumptuous, and architectural; the entry is straight, dominated by dense yet very agile material, with an aristocratic balsamic freshness that extends the sip towards a savory, endless, and vibrant finish.
