The fruit is hand picked, hand sorted and then whole-bunch pressed to tank for a cool, slow fermentation over about 4 weeks. The wine is aged on fine lees for 9 months in equal portions of stainless steel tanks, older barriques and demi-muids (600 L). This shows a big step up in texture and intensity, with a hint of smokiness on the nose and fine chalky minerality on the palate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview for 2025 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(117, 37, 117);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘ A fresh and chalky nose, with white flowers and orange peel notes. Supple and velvety on the palate, this remains fresh despite its textural qualities, thanks to a light vein of acidity. There is plenty of phenolic grip here, an indicator of the warm ripeness of the vintage. Nicely balanced overall, and drinking well now. This is a ‘communal’ wine, sourced from several parcels in Bué, the fruit from older vines, pressed and the juice vinified in wooden vat. It was bottled in May 2026. The alcohol is about 14%, says Clément Pinard. 91\/100.' \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91 points, Chris Kissack, winedoctor.com, June 2026.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0115\/8329\/1492\/files\/Pinard_Logo_Mockup_480x480.jpg?v=1610521625\" width=\"201\" height=\"108\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #752575;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\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.
