Appelation Sancerre
Sancerre
Intense flowery aromas of viola and red fruits.
Its creamy texture gives way to a draping of ripe fruits. Subtle tanins are topped off by a light and salivating acidity.
Ideal for aperitif.
Poultry, turkey, partridge.
Charcuterie, cold cuts, delicatessen.
Sauteed mushrooms.
Cooked dishes such as pies, boiled chicken.
Red meat, slowly cooked pork.
Wilted vegetables, deglazed with meat juice.
Sancerre
A dashing wine, with relatively runny tears and a dark ruby color. The nose is refined and discreet. Fine reduction (meat juice), then aeration releases its fruity tones (black berries). A spicier, finely larded nose with a hint of wood.
The palate is welcoming, with a creamy feel and surprising roundness. The tannins are pretty, but seem attenuated by ageing. The wine is comfortable, refined and full of promise…
Closer to the land, charcuterie from our grandmothers, terrines, and game dishes, with cranberries, in sauce, and rare red meats. Foie gras, and terrines in jelly, eggs in jelly, aspics.
It’s well worth waiting a few months for. Ideally, waiting 3 to 5 years will give him more time to skate. It will reveal itself wonderfully after 5 years, reaching its peak around 7 to 10 years.
Bottle upright the day before, open in the morning for a snack, or in the evening for lunch the following day. Let the wine take its place at its own pace.
