baked orange and a light nutty tone before the palate's chalky texture engages the entire mouth as citrus flavors abound

2022 | Domaine Gérard & Pierre Morin Sancerre "Cuvée Ovide" | Loire | France Chablis Mont de Milieu citrus fruitsThe domaine's top cuve 1950s old vine Sancerre from a Dujac trained grower, made in tiny quantities. "Ovide" is the flagship of Domaine Grard & Pierre Morin in Bu, named for the shepherd neighbor who planted these gnarled old vines in the 1950s. Grown on stony caillottes just steps from the cellar, part aged in used barrels and bottled unfined and unfiltered, it's one of Sancerre's most ageworthy whites and it's made in tiny quantities.
