A wine with some bottle age and it surprised me with its ripe fresh red fruit of cherry raspberry and cranberry. Also had a hint of orange zest.
The acid was low with a tiny bit of chalk tannins. Lovely pinot that can rival Burgundy and you can get for a great price. (609 views) | | | Tasted by kosmik on 6/23/2022 & rated 88 points: Bien! (723 views) | | | Tasted by Ziphandel on 5/3/2022 & rated 90 points: j'ai carafé ce vin un bon 30 min avant de le boire et il a préservé toute sa fraîcheur même 2 heures après son ouverture. Un sancerre a ce prix pour un rouge c'est exceptionnel. Taux sucre très bas et de beaux tanins mais pas astringent. Il n'est pas souvent disponible alors si vous avez l'occasion de mettre la main dessus faut agir vite. Un bon vin de garde 7-10 ans. Ce vin a des arômes boisé ( muscade et vanille), un brin poivré et de sous-bois (Champignon). Il se mari bien avec la viande de gibier. (744 views) | | | Tasted by JoeMe on 4/8/2022 & rated 88 points: This is fresh and somewhat clean, but not many other positive notes here. Very mute nose, the palate reveals very modest fruit, no wood, no tannins, no complexity, just too simple. At least there are no bitter green notes. Acidity is well judged and the wine is perfectly drinkable, but lacking all sorts of other components throughout. (646 views) | | | Tasted by trifreddy on 4/5/2022 & rated 88 points: Nez de terre noir un peu derangeant qui persiste meme le lendemain. Pinot aerien avec de belles notes de petits fruits rouges. (828 views) | | | Tasted by kosmik on 8/10/2021 & rated 88 points: Sympathique.
Tout en élégance.
Très bel équilibre général.
Un peu simple par ailleurs.
Discutable à ce prix… (726 views) | | | Tasted by Burgundynick on 8/20/2020 & rated 88 points: Lovely bright strawberry and raspberry nose. Palate has more red fruits, soft tannins, medium to light bodied and a fresh acidity. Very typical of the region and drinking at its peak, very pleasurable and decent value at £21 88 points (460 views) | | | Tasted by Wine Canuck on 8/2/2020 & rated 90 points: I often find Sancerre rouge a tad shrill and thin, but this was really nice. It pours very light, totally transparent, somewhere between deep pink and a very light pale ruby. Clearly cool climate pinot noir, reminiscent of German or Alsatian Pinot. The nose is of cranberry, tart pomegranate, thyme, crushed rock, and light whisps of spice. The palate is very acidic with a touch of tannin and a medium minus finish. Pleasant wine, though a somewhat questionable value at $30 CAD. (1221 views) | | | Tasted by acheng on 7/10/2020 & rated 87 points: Hmm. Was expecting a pleasant surprise. But stays well within what it is. Some beet root and earthy components. A good Sancerre Pinot. (413 views) | | | Tasted by cono_sur on 7/10/2020 & rated 91 points: From the great 2015 vintage, this Pinot Noir has a pretty, pale ruby colour and the medium-high intensity nose leads with stony-smoky minerality, followed by red berry, cherry, and currant aromas, with subtle florals. It is light-to-medium bodied on the spicy, red fruited, cherry, and currant palate with elegantly structured tannins. Acids are nice and fresh, while the stony-smoky mineral notes come to the fore on the long, juicy finish. Enjoy over the next 4-5 years.

Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)
