Buรฉ is one of Sancerreโ€™s quality hot-spots. Like Chavignol or Mรฉnรฉtrรฉol, it is home to many venerated vineyards and quite a few exceptional producers. In this newsletter we have two: Lucien Crochet (whose rosรฉ is a few stories down) and Vincent Pinard, arguably Buรฉโ€™s best winemakers.

Buรฉ is known for its gentle hills of oxfordian limestone, aka โ€˜caillotesโ€™, and its elegant, perfumed wines, which are both sophisticated and approachable. Pinard veers from the script slightly, though, aiming for brisker, sharpened expressions of the regionโ€™s terroir. His racy, crystalline whites seem impervious to Europe's ever-warming vintages.

Preserving the zip that We've come to expect from Sancerre is something we really appreciate, though it must be a challenge. Pinard however, has the chops and resumรฉ, coming from generations of Sancerrois winemakers dating back to the 1600s.

Heโ€™s also somewhat of a fanatic, well-known for being meticulous in the vineyard and cellar. He farms organically and harvests by hand, selecting the best fruit. Yields are low for the region.

While Pinard does produce a few single-vineyard wines, he also makes some remarkably good โ€˜blends.โ€™ They are far from generic, and qualify as some of the best in the entire Sancerre region.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 91
"The 2022 Nuance is a comfortable, suave, silky style of Sancerre that's been carefully tended. It offers rounded edges and rich fruit flavors of pear, pineapple and a hint of nuttiness, perhaps from time on lees in wooden tanks. This is textural, satisfying and approachable with gentle acidity." -Rebecca Gibb
