Produced solely from \u003cstrong\u003eSauvignon Blanc\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, this Sancerre is distinguished by a clear mineral imprint and a deep, well-structured palate. Spontaneous vinification and subsequent ageing in \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e contribute to defining a complex and balanced character. Its distinct gastronomic versatility makes it the ideal accompaniment to enhance \u003cstrong\u003elean fish\u003c\/strong\u003e and fine cheese selections, thanks to its pleasantly dry finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in the prestigious territory of Bué, within the renowned Sancerre appellation, in the heart of the Loire Valley. The historic vines, planted since the early 1960s, are rooted in \u003cstrong\u003ecaillottes soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterised by an abundant presence of limestone pebbles of Jurassic origin. The altitude of the rows, situated between 260 and 280 metres above sea level, promotes a taut aromatic development and gives the wine a \u003cstrong\u003edistinct minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e. Vineyard management follows rigorous \u003cstrong\u003eorganic and biodynamic principles\u003c\/strong\u003e, with exclusively manual work to ensure maximum respect for the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with a \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e in perforated crates, followed by a careful and rigorous sorting of the clusters. In the cellar, vinification takes place through a long and gentle pneumatic pressing, with fermentation triggered exclusively by \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e. Ageing proceeds for a period of between ten and twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003elarge oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, encouraging a slow structural evolution. To keep the purity and integrity of the product intact, the wine is bottled without any fining or filtration, offering a faithful and natural expression of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 Sancerre Grand Chemarin from Domaine Vincent Pinard boasts a historical heritage linked to a specific parcel selection in the village of Bué. The historic vines used date back to two plantings from \u003cstrong\u003e1961 and 1971\u003c\/strong\u003e, rooted in soils dating back to the Upper Oxfordian. Among the most unusual and fascinating production details is the use of special \u003cstrong\u003eproprietary volcanic sulphur\u003c\/strong\u003e, combined with the estate's indigenous yeasts. Furthermore, the lack of filtration may lead to a slight sediment at the bottom, which the winery considers an authentic and prestigious \u003cstrong\u003ehallmark of quality\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Domaine Vincent Pinard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48334337704107,"sku":"63018","price":58.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/vincent-pinard-sancerre-grand-chemarin-2024_63018_1_37783a26-215e-4b18-afcd-f95f31552dce.webp?v=1792747329","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-uk\/products\/vincent-pinard-sancerre-grand-chemarin-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
