Descrizione

The Sancerre Rouge Charlouise by Vincent Pinard is an excellent example of savoir-faire in red wine production in the Loire region. Made exclusively from meticulously selected Pinot Noir grapes, this wine stands out for its extraordinary elegance and aromatic complexity. It presents a medium-intensity bright ruby color to the eye. On the nose, vibrant notes of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry emerge, followed by earthy nuances and light spices, a result of the aging in barrels that adds complexity without overwhelming the fruit's freshness.

On the palate, the Sancerre Rouge Charlouise demonstrates a remarkable balance between a well-defined tannic structure and an acidic freshness that promises excellent longevity. This wine pairs wonderfully with red meat dishes, noble poultry like pheasant, or with soft cheeses. It is also an elegant companion for an evening of sophisticated conversations and tastings. Ideal for those seeking a Loire red with personality and refinement.

Winery history

The Pinard family has been rooted in the village of Bué for many generations; the family's modern viticultural activities are documented from the early 20th century. In the postwar period Charles Pinard revived the estate, and later Vincent and his wife Colette expanded it by acquiring relatives' vineyards and consolidating production to its present scale. Today the estate is run by the next generation, which has developed a range of single-vineyard cuvées.

Production philosophy

Priority is given to the vineyard: precise work in the vines to express each terroir, with practices oriented toward organic and biodynamic farming. In the cellar, indigenous yeasts are preferred, intervention is minimal, wood is used sparingly, and sulfites are reduced to highlight the agronomic character of the grapes.

Terroir and vineyards

The domaine is based in Bué, in the Sancerre area of the Loire Valley. The vineyards include parcels on various limestone soils — including outcrops of Kimmeridgian and Oxfordian limestone — and encompass lieux-dits such as Chêne Marchand, Grand Chemarin, Petit Chemarin and Les Créots; the fragmentation into many parcels produces distinctive, site-specific cuvées.
