Les Baronnes Sancerre Pinot Noir

Nice light weight pinot. Dried herbs, cherry, and dusty earth in that order. Tart on the finish.

17.5/20 (93/100)

Tangy and rich but served too cold.

Pinot Noir? From Sancerre?!? Mais, c’est vrai. In the glass: very pretty reds, light at tops, pink-red near sides of the bowl, darkening to a velvety rich dark rouge-noir center bottom of the glass… “La Vie en Rose” nearly leaps out pf the glass. On the nose: fresh paper and new spring acacia leaves. A pack of Marlborough’s still wrapped in plastic wants to announce itself at the end of a deep sniff. Ahhh, there it is—the spring cherries of a light pinot dance forth over the lips… en point…and plier mid-palate to let roll in lush cherry juice—just a little tart-sweet and delightfully bright… Edith Piaf coloratura leads to French Oak-inflected vanilla on a pillow-soft finish…oh!
A lingering finish at that—extra points, thank you!

One of the best I’ve had.

Notes of bramble, flint, and a touch of smoke round this out beautifully. Not too sweet and medium tannins. Versatile.

Mycket kraftigt med inslag av äpple krusbär och mineraler.

Nice and bright. Tropical fruits with a mix of white flowers, ginger, jasmine. Slight sense kcal salinity with a minerals finish! Great wine to pair with food, endless possibilities

Besvikelse. Framförallt i förhållande till priset.
