January 13, 2024 - Very pleasant. Always a delight how well Snacerre Pinot works. Like a village Burgundy but way cheaper...

March 17, 2022 - Nicely balanced if a little one-dimensional loire PN. Good value and competitive with civilised village-level Burgs.

March 7, 2021 - Very Burgundian, but maybe a tad brighter and definitely more intense and complex than an equivalent Bourgogne or village level red.
Red cherry and cranberry, chalky and slightly earthy. Fresh and delicious and perfectly balanced. Quality old world PN, well priced! -

March 4, 2021 - Now seemingly rebranded as Les Baronnes, this is intriguing as an example of Sancerre Rouge.
Colour: medium deep red, medium rim, brown tinge.
Nose: Q full, mature, ripe, morello cherries, touch of gaminess, plums.
Taste: light body, q assertive, tannic, mod. good fruit, morello cherries and plums, med finish, somewhat harsh, tannic and short on fruit, raspberries.
Overall, this has the potential to have more substance than many red Sancerres. However, after a couple of hours of opening up, it loses its roundness, which is a shame. Early on there were notes of reduction but these blew off. Try again?
