Sancerre Le Rabault Rouge 2019 6x75cl

Sancerre
  • 75cl bottle

Notes of black cherry and blackberry on the nose, whilst the palate is a wonderful expression of Pinot Noir with gorgeous mouth-feel and silky smooth tannins.

Vineyards

The grapes are grown on a unique terroir within Sancerre, on very steep slopes with a flint rich soil. All vineyard processes are carried out in an environmental manner, adapted for each terroir.

Vintage

The 2019 was overall a good vintage in Central Loire, despite the frost episodes in early spring. The summer was very hot, with the heat stress impacting the overall yields but the remaining fruit quality was outstanding, yielding balanced and harmonious wines.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested at optimum ripeness before vinification at the winery. Vinification takes place under monitored conditions, to ensure a smooth extraction of tannins. Maceration takes place over a period of 25 days to achieve excellent balance and finesse.

Enjoy with:

  • Grilled and Roasted Red Meats
  • Pizza/Pasta
  • Mild Creamy Cheeses
  • Mature Strong Cheeses
This wine is a good match for pâtés, grilled fish, meats and red berry desserts.
