TASTING NOTES
A Roberson Staff Pick, November 2011
“It has great complexity and lovely acidity. Delicious grassy and citrus notes . Very unctuous with great weight on the palate” - Marc Ditcham, wine advisor.
PRODUCER NOTES
Morin harkens back to the past, with the certainty that great wine can only be made from low yields and grapes that are harvested by hand. In every vintage (with his severe pruning and selection at harvest); on average, Morin has a meagre 40 hl/ha. For us he sets aside his oldest vines from various parcels, including Chene Marchand which make the richest most intense wine he offers.
This Vieilles Vignes cuvee is very ripe, complex, and just the paradigm of Sancerre on the nose. Linger over the bouquet, and judge every other Sancerre you experience by this. On the palate it is concentrated, tight, profound, with a perfect web of fruit and mineral tones and exquisite finish.
