Le Chemin de Marloup is a 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre in the Loire Valley. The vines are 30 years old and grow on clay-limestone, south-facing slopes in the Grand-Chemarin and Côteaux de Marloup vineyards, planted to clones that give small, aromatic berries. The grapes are hand-picked and gently pressed as whole clusters, then cold racked. Fermentation is very slow, with 50% natural yeast, followed by at least 4 months on the lees. The aim is to keep the bright aromatics and freshness of the fruit, resulting in a mineral bouquet and a clean, refreshing finish.
The Picard family have made wine in Sancerre since the 1600s. Their 14 hectare domaine is spread over 45 parcels around the hamlet of Bué, and they farm sustainably (culture raisonnée), letting grass partly grow in the vineyards. Jean-Paul Picard harvests by hand, unlike most Sancerre producers, who use machines. Their wines are vegan.
