Sancerre Blanc "Echoes" 2024 - Pinard Brothers

L'Esprit Pinard Brothers: Another Vision of Terroir

With the Pinard Brothers range, the two brothers allow themselves complete freedom. Echoes is not just a wine; it is a resonance between the limestone soil (caillottes) and minimalist winemaking. The goal is to capture the raw energy of the place without any artifice.

A "Haute Couture" Winemaking

• Terroir: Selection of plots on the limestone slopes of Bué, where the Sauvignon draws vertical tension.

• Aging: Unlike classic cuvées, Echoes benefits from extended aging (often 18 months or more) in old 500 and 600-liter barrels (demi-muids). This allows the wine to develop a patina without ever acquiring the taste of wood.

• Philosophy: Very low intervention approach, native yeasts, and minimal sulfur doses to preserve the brightness of the fruit and the vibration of the terroir.

Sensory Profile

• Color: Pale gold, with silver reflections.

• Aroma: Very unique, it opens with notes of lemon zest, orchard flowers, and a noble reduction (notes of rubbed flint, toasted sesame) that is very elegant.

• Palate: This is where the name "Echoes" makes perfect sense. The wine resonates on the palate with a piercing acidity and a dense, almost oily texture, perfectly balanced by a noble bitterness on the finish. The persistence is immense.
