Domaine Jean-Paul Picard Sancerre

Domaine Jean-Paul Picard et Fils is a family-run estate with an incredibly long history, having been in the same family since 1750. From clay and limestone soils, the yield is around 55hl/ha from 30 year old vines which are harvested by hand. Picard practices Lutte raisonnée, literally “reasoned fight” (in French), or “supervised control” (in English), regarded as a pragmatic approach to farming, where chemical treatments are used only when absolutely necessary.

Pale gold in colour, the wine opens with bright aromatic notes of exotic fruit and citrus, with subtle hints of minerality and orange blossom. On the palate the wine is full bodied and balanced with a bright crisp finish.

A classic match for oysters and seafood or fresh goat cheese.
