2016 Sancerre Rouge Terre de Maimbray, Pascal et Nicolas Reverdy

Red Sancerre is made from Pinot Noir and is often a lighter, brisker version of red burgundy. Here, thanks to rigorous vineyard work to keep yields low and fully ripen the grapes, the Reverdy Sancerre is a wonderfully rich and fleshy wine. Colour is mid ruby, aromas being attractive and floral, with notes of red cherries and raspberries. Palate is medium bodied, silkily textured and ripe. This has glorious vibrancy, the finish being clean and with gentle tannins.
