Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (91): Sancerre isn't just about white wine, and this Sancerre proves why you should be paying more attention. A perfumed nose of dried red cherry, leather, dried mushroom, forest floor and strawberry is this Pinot Noir's calling card. The wine is complex, bright yet mature with soft, well-integrated tannins befitting its age.
