2023 | Domaine Gérard & Pierre Morin Sancerre "Cuvée Ovide" | Loire | France Cuevas de Arom toasted cardamomThe 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.
