Geographically close, Sancerre has the fortune to share the Pinot Noir grape variety with neighbouring Burgundy. Superstar grape, Pinot Noir flourishes perfectly on the ‘Caillottes’ and ‘Terres Blanches’ slopes of the Sancerre appellation. A true gastronomic rosé set in a magnifcent bottle, it is the object of all our care. Delicate, the Pinot Noir grape only surrenders its complexity when it receives the attention it deserves. J. de Villebois puts all his heart into it to fathom its secrets and offer them to you!
Tasting Notes: Lychee eye with pink tinges. The expressive and complex nose exudes black cherry, strawberry jam and boiled sweets. The palate is rich, smooth, beautifully fresh and dominated by intense aromas of cherry. 2021 was a cooler vintage than 2020. It required longer ageing and more frequent stirring of the fIne lees.
Food Pairing: Its magnificent bottle will enhance any table or festivity! Best pair with spring or summer salads, vegetable skewers and black olive tapenades as an aperitif!
ABV: 12-14% / Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir / Origin: Loire Valley, France
