The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Awarded 2 stars by the Revue du Vin de France—a leading French wine publication—Domaine Vincent Pinard is one of the crown jewels of Sancerre. Florent and Clément Pinard practice a refined, almost artistic approach to viticulture. Since 2018, they’ve been committed to biodynamic farming, always in harmony with their terroir and relentlessly focused on achieving optimal grape ripeness.

When the opportunity arose to work a small plot in the famed La Moussière vineyard, they seized it—setting up a dedicated négociant operation. From vineyard work to vinification, they handle every step themselves, just as meticulously as they do on their estate. By crafting wines in their signature “Pinard style,” they offer yet another compelling expression of their remarkable talent.
Wine Brimming with freshness and purity, the 2023 Sancerre La Moussière White opens with a refined profile marked by citrus zest and delicate chalky nuances. On the palate, it’s crisp, dry, and beautifully sculpted, with a refined texture, subtle bitterness, and floral overtones leading the way. A savoury, well-balanced wine that’s already drinking beautifully—showcasing the full skill of the Pinard brothers. Rated 92–93/100 by the Selection Committee.
Vinification Hand harvested. Aged for 11 months in wooden vats and barrels.

Certified organic wine.
