The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Every critic will tell you: the Vincent Pinard estate is one of the best of the Sancerre appellation. It is even rated 2 stars by the famous French RVF Green Guide! Florent and Clément Pinard practice a respectful viticulture, taking extreme care of their terroir and always searching for the perfect balance between generosity and maturity. 

This Pinard brother duo are truly spearheads of the Loire Valley region, especially in organic and biodynamic agriculture. Their wines are elite cuvées, praised for their complexity and extremely long aging potential.
Wine From an uncompromising parcel of land, a small mound of Kimmeridgian limestone, the 2020 White Sancerre Le Château once again shows magnificent complexity and subtlety. 60 ares of the Bué limestone terroir have been isolated to forge this noble white wine, which is distinguished by its prominent structure and deep fullness. It is one of the great white wines of the French vineyard.
Vinification Hand harvested with a first sorting of the grapes, no sulfur, whole grapes, indigenous yeasts, pneumatic pressing. Fermentation and aging in demi-muids and stainless steel tanks. Wine not filtered.

The estate is 100% organic and biodynamic
