The appellation of Sancerre is part of the ‘central vineyards’ of the Loire Valley, with almost all of the appellation situated on the left bank of the Loire River, opposite Pouilly Fumé. This region has a continental climate, as it is some 400 kilometres from the Atlantic Coast, with short, hot summers and long, cold winters. Early spring frosts are an annual threat in the vineyards. These vines are grown in chalky soils which provide good drainage for the vines.
Black cherry, licorice, leather, mushroom, forrest floor and earth on the nose. This (Burgundian style) Loire Valley Pinot Noir is also lifted by a whiff of cranberry and wild strawberry. Lush and fine-grained; the musky red currant and spice flavors are supported by perfectly integrated ripe acidity. Finishes with an enticing return of fruit and a good acidic lift. The finish shows that you can drink this wine now, or it will also keep a few years.
Great pairing with veal, deer and poultry.
