Info

The 2019 Sancerre Rouge La Noue is 100% from Pinot Noir. The vines are planted on Kimmeridge limestone soils. As with all wines from Domaine Claude Riffault, the vines are cultivated according to organic and biodynamic guidelines. Manual harvesting is followed by 18 months of ageing. The production amounts to 10,630 bottles.

Color

Bright, dark velvet red, light reflections

Nose

Not only in colour, but also on the nose, the 2019 Sancerre La Noue is dark and mysterious. Morello cherries, black cherries and redcurrant. A little sloe and Reineclaude. Behind this fruity-dark wall, there seems to be a linear, chalky framework. Red and black pepper as well as a breeze of cinnamon fall from the spice rack. Ethereal juniper berries, pine cones and a little lovage contribute green elements. Coffee and very discreet dark chocolate finally round it off in this dark manner. It does not seem heavy at all, just very intense and unusual in its aromatic expression.

Palate

Already on the palate, it confirms the associations of the nose. Straight as a candle it makes its way across the palate. It seems almost bloody. Riffault presents an elegant Pinot Noir with a lot of breed. It is infused with a pleasantly present acid structure. It silkily lines the mouth. The fruit is now clearly brighter and more acidic - morello cherries become sour cherries. Its mineral framework gives it a lot of stability and the aforementioned linearity. The finish is very delicate and not nearly as dark as initially perceived. Juicy and animating to drink.

Food recommendations from Marian Henß
