Daniel Crochet - Rouge 2020 - Sancerre AOC

Vinification: After a manual harvest, the grapes are pressed and the fermentation proceeds for approximately 30 days. Both remontage and pigeage are done but the degree to which they are practiced depends on the structure of each vintage. Sixty percent of this cuvée is aged in barrel and 40% in stainless steel for one year. The wine is then assembled and, for an additional eight months, is aged in stainless steel before being bottled approximately two years after harvest.

Tasting Notes: An excellent pinot noir that is both ripe and fresh, with notes of cherry jam and sour cherry. The palate is crisp, precise and delicate.
