Les Celliers St-Romble Sancerre Pinot Noir

Actually it's 2011 Sancerre Rouge - and it's sexy as hell

TSWC. Sancerre Rouge. Oakey. Didn’t really open up for me. Bit drying in the mouth. Pleasant blackberry and dark fruit flavours but didn’t quite do it for me.

Light and smooth with a touch of rustic. Lovely on a summer's evening. Drunk with Dom & Davey

Lots of strawberry, black cherry, and dried strawberry fruit, with green leaves and flowers. Lots of gravely minerality with some sand. Just enough green apple acidity. Low tannins but they sneak up on you. Very light bodied. Complex fruit finish. I think this tastes like more of a deep rose than a red. That's no complaint. This was delicious with shrimp and truffle oil infused grits. I didn't know Pinot noir was grown in Sancerre until the very knowledgeable person at Wine Poste pointed this out to me.

the elusive red sancerre

Delicious and full of flavour

Even better than tasting at the winery - fruity, mineral, bold. A good accompaniment to salmon

Wow, this is interesting. Low-ish acidity, nice punchy fruit, a bit closed-up and tight, but come on, it's just out of the barrel. Interesting for sure.
