Domaine Vincent Pinard Sancerre "Petit Chemarin" dry white 2017

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2020(August 2019): 17/20. The sunny character of the vintage has been skillfully tamed in the 2017 whites. This type of year is particularly suited to the Petit Chemarin, whose salinity reflects a relief from the limestone. Then 94/100 : "Very beautiful nuanced nose, delicately mentholated and spicy. The wine rises with great finesse, without much body, but with a delicate length."

Bettane and Desseauve Guide 2020 (August 2019): 16.5/20. The small west-facing valley allows the grapes to ripen well and produce a wine that is both broad and sharp, with great amplitude. Peak drinking window: 2019-2025.
Food and wine pairings: river fish, goat cheese, cheese platter, pasta and risottos with fish and seafood, cow's milk cheeses, raw fish, sushi.
