This Sancerre is one of the top offerings from Morin using fruit from one of the best areas in the whole of Sancerre; a delicious zesty wine with great minerality.
Morin works with the ideology that great wine can only be made from low yields and grapes harvested by hand. In every vintage (with his severe pruning and selection at harvest); on average, Morin has a meagre 40 hl/ha. The proof is in the textured, terroir-driven Sancerre he produces. For…
Morin's Sancerre is an outstanding example; lean and mineral-infused, yet bursting with vibrant citrus and gooseberry notes. From one of the best producers, in one of the best parts of Sancerre.
"From a Bué estate that's currently converting to organics, the 2019 Sancerre Chêne Marchand is unfiltered. It exhibits a real sense of weight on the palate, roundness and seamlessness. It does not exhibit the zesty aromatics that Sauvignon Blanc is known for; instead, there's baked apples and dried fruit, though these ripe characteristics are followed by mouth watering acidity."
