Sancerre Champ de l'Orme 2020 Domaine Pierre Morin

Sancerre - Chant de l'Orme 2020

1968年の樹が育てた、熟成型サンセール。

1968年にサンセール村の粘土石灰質の台地へ植えられたぶどうから生まれる、熟成向きのキュヴェです。発酵と一部の熟成を木樽で行い、淡いゴールドの色調に深みが宿ります。熟した黄桃や白い花、洋梨の香りに、時間とともにアニスや蜂蜜、わずかなスモーキーさが現れます。古木由来の凝縮感と伸びやかな酸、石灰質のミネラルが余韻まで美しく続きます。ローストチキンやシェーブルチーズのサラダとともに。

Tasting note

When poured into a glass, the pale gold color shines and a depth that suggests a hint of aging emerges. The aroma is of ripe yellow peach, white flowers, pear, and a delicate minerality derived from the Cayot soil. Over time, notes of anise, honey and a slight smoky note emerge, adding depth to the finish. On the palate, the wine is impressively well-structured and full-bodied, with a concentrated and complex flavor that comes from the 55-year-old vines. The smooth acidity tightens the wine, and the minerality from the limestone terroir continues beautifully to the aftertaste. The aftertaste is long, with citrus peel and flint-like flavors remaining pleasantly on the tongue. It gives the impression of having the potential to expand even further with age.
