Domaine Reverdy-Ducroux, Sancerre Rouge, Loire, France 2019

Classy red Sancerre: spicy, elegant Pinot Noir in a box. Medium-bodied, with plenty of lively savoury raspberry fruit notes. Good grip and structure. This is an elegant and versatile wine, worth the money.

Intense, complex aromas that cover the whole gamut of red and black fruit. Bright red berries and crushed raspberries, through to black cherries and blackberries. This 100% Pinot Noir impresses with its svelte, tart cherry fruit, rich dark chocolate and crushed hazelnuts. With its meaty, animal profile, it’s not all about primary fruit. This is a great wine, regardless of its bag in box status, and comes in at under £20 per 75cl bottle.
