Domaine Lesimple & Fils presents an exceptional red Sancerre that captures the essence of the Pinot Noir grape. With its notes of ripe red berries and subtle hints of spice, this wine is a testament to the richness and structure that this renowned vineyard offers. Nestled in the heart of Sancerre, the terroir and meticulous winemaking process contribute to a wine of extraordinary concentration and elegance.

Composition: 100% Pinot Noir. The vineyard features vines planted on the rich, mineral-laden soils of Sancerre, enhancing the wine's complexity and depth.
Winemaking: The grapes undergo mechanical harvesting and are transferred to open vats via a conveyor belt. Alcoholic fermentation is carefully managed with variable pump-overs and punch-downs, tailored to each vintage's unique character.
Aging: The wine is aged on very fine lees for 10 months in stainless steel tanks to preserve its purity and balance.

Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Enthusiast (90): Based in Chavignol, one of the top villages of Sancerre, this estate has produced a balanced, ripe and textured wine. Acidity and freshness bring out a lightly herbaceous character as well as attractive citrus fruits. Drink the wine from late 2021. Roger Voss
