2019 Domaine Vincent Pinard Sancerre Le Château

Decanter: 97 points

“Le Château is a small plot of land enclosed in the Chêne Marchand terroir, and is situated on the top of the hill, planted on Kimmeridgian limestone. The first vintage of this wine was 2014. The bouquet on this 2019 vintage is tightly introverted, but its incredible tension and depth point to a magnificent wine. Mineral-driven aromas with spices, both white and spring flowers, orange blossom and lemon oil aromas. Long and penetrating, this wine has a deep and concentrated core, striking levels of chalky dry extract and a long, penetrating finish. Still an infant, it will be one of my favourites after 10-20 years in the cellar. Drinking Window 2028 – 2040.” – Yohan Castaing,
