The result is a wine that is still crisp and racy in the classic Sancerre style, but also with more texture, depth and complexity than it had 10 years ago.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2025 Review \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(117, 37, 117);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘ This is a much more lively proposition than the 2025 Echoes, tasted alongside, with a wealth of pithy citrus on the nose, with layers of bitter orange and peach. Supple and polished at the start of the palate, it combines this fresh and pithy nature with a rather plump substance, the whole supported by a phenolic grip. I like the brighter sense of acidity here, not to mention the good sense of bitterness. Lovely energy here. For drinking now. The domaine’s entry-level cuvée, this accounts for 30% of the Pinard family’s production. A blend from several sites, it was vinified in wooden vat, and it was bottled in May 2026. The alcohol is about 14%, says Clément Pinard. 90\/100. ’\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90 points, Chris Kissack, winedoctor.com, June 2026.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"108\" width=\"201\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/8329\/1492\/files\/Pinard_Logo_Mockup_480x480.jpg?v=1610521625\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #752575;\"\u003e'\u003cspan\u003eBrothers Clement and Florent Pinard are the 15th generation (or so they think – they wouldn’t stake their lives on it) to run the family domaine in the village of Bué. They’re young and dynamic and obtained biodynamic certification in 2017. The Pinards have created their own yeast starter and are restrained in their use of sulfur. They are often one of the first in the village to harvest, which they put down to farming the vineyard organically for more than 15 years. In recent warm vintages (2018, 2019 and 2020), they have achieved harmony when others have struggled. The domaine has an enviable list of the top sites in the appellation including both the Petit and Grand Chemarin vineyards and Le Chêne Marchand (all on caillottes soils), as well as a wealth of older vines; even its entry-level Florès is produced from 35-year-old plantings. Balance, harmony and elegance are common threads that weave across the range. Large format barrels are employed in varying proportions for all of its cuvées except for Florès, while lees aging builds appetizing texture.
