I wanted something different and went with a Sancerre Rouge. About ten percent of the wines claiming the Sancerre appellation name are wines made from Pinot noir and to a lesser extent, rosés.
The 2016 Domaine Delaporte Pinot Noir had enough body and substance to pair well with lamb, and enough finesse and brightness to go with a friend’s salmon. Bonus that I got a thumbs up on my wine choice.
Winemaker notes — The beautiful deep ruby-violet colors of this Pinot Noir wine give way to aromas of very ripe red fruits (cherry, blackberry and raspberry). The nose is intense and well- integrated, with odors of cooked red fruits and roasted coffee beans. There are also hints of graphite and cinnamon. Very round and smooth on the attack, with tight tannins on the palate.
