| SANCERRE
The wines produced by this small, 10 hectare domaine are proof that not all Sancerres are created equal. As Sancerre is a large appellation, the best villages have developed their own reputation for quality, with Bué considered one of the finest. The vineyard slopes surrounding this hamlet have outstanding clay-limestone soils, sunny southwestern exposures and ideal elevations. Picard makes his fine Sancerre Blanc from the very select Grand Chemarin and Chene Marchand vineyards.
Superb terroir and limited production translate into very generous and gratifying wines.

| Sancerre Blanc |
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Picard's Sancerre represents the pinnacle of stainless-steel fermented Sauvignon Blanc. The best Sauvignon Blancs have a fresh grass, minerally bouquet with lots of orange-citrus fruit on the palate and a clean, refreshing finish. Never exaggerated or overblown, this wine's elegance and balance make it an ideal match for a range of white meat and fish dishes.
