Sancerre RougeLes Grandmontains
Along with its purply hues,you will appreciate its smoothness and silky tannins. A real homageto Pinot Noir in a tender style that is bursting with flavour.
Vineyard
The hillside is exposed south, southwest. This privileged place made a Sancerre which we like to enjoy for its youth and its fruit.
Grape variety
Pinot Noir
Terroir
Chalk called « caillottes »
Winemaking
The grapes are hand-harvested and destemmed. After bleeding the vat (the bled wine is used to make Rose), the grapes macerate for 8 to 10 days at temperatures ranging from 25° to 30°C (77° to 86°F). The wine is racked after malolactic fermentation and matured in the vat for 6 months. After vacuum-bottling, the wine is left to bottle ageing for a minimum of 2 months.
Tasting
This extraordinary glimmering red Sancerre has aromas of ripe red fruit. Further bottle ageing reveals aromas of candied cherries. On the palate, a seductive suppleness and freshness is apparent, as well as the presence of tannins. This is a wine of elegance and finesse.
Food pairing
Along a whole meal, on meat or on fish dishes.
