100% Sauvignon Blanc from 30 year old vines planted on the clay-limestone, south-facing slopes of the Grand-Chemarin and Cteaux de Marloup vineyards. Picard has planted Sauvignon Blanc clones that produce small berries of aromatic intensity. The grapes are hand-picked, pressed gently (whole clusters, which helps drain and extract the juice), then cold racked (dbourbage froid). The wine is fermented very slowly with 50% natural yeast and aged on the lees for a minimum of 4 months. The goal is to maintain the bright aromatics and freshness of the lively Sauvignon Blanc fruit. Picards Sancerre represents the pinnacle of stainless-steel fermented Sauvignon Blanc, with a mineral bouquet and a clean, refreshing finish.
