DESCRIPTION

Sancerre may be best known for its world-renowned wines made from Sauvignon Blanc, but this region’s cool climate and ancient limestone soils are also ideal for producing delightfully nuanced Pinot Noir. Lot 221 is a wonderfully fresh and vibrant wine that will make you think twice about this famous region.

 

The continental climate of the Loire Valley’s Sancerre wine region lends itself to producing Pinot Noir with richness and beautiful texture. After the grapes are harvested, the alcoholic fermentation is performed in vats for 10 to 14 days at cool temperatures to preserve aromatics. Throughout this process, the must is pumped over twice daily to maximize the extraction of color and tannins. The wine is then aged for 10-12 months before bottling.
