100% Sauvignon Blanc from the famed single-vineyard "Chene Marchand" in the prestigious Sancerre village of Bu. All grapes are hand-harvested and selected; extremely low yields; fermented naturally with indigenous yeasts in enamel-lined steel tanks. Aged on the lees. The wine opens with a deep bouquet of citrus fruit, elderflower and jasmine. This is a pure and lovely, yet densely woven and concentrated Sancerre with a well-balanced interplay of fruit and minerality and a long, refreshing finish. Pierre Morin took over from his father, Gerard, in 2004, and has continued the family's traditions in the vineyards and the cellar. He harkens back to the past with the certainty that great wine can only be made from low yields and grapes harvested by hand.
