Les Baronnes Sancerre Pinot Noir

Ruby red color with complex aromas of ripe red fruits, baking spice and cedar notes, aged for about 8 months on oak. On the palate flavors of cherry, plum and blackberry with notes of cacao, spice and oak. Fine tannins, long finish, ending with fruit, spice and earthy mineral notes. Drink now!

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.

loved, chocolate and cherry- $30, had at super bowl

So good

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.
