The flinty mineral makes the cherry seem almost like kirsch with peppery notes that are reminiscent of a roast rib. A real surprise for such a great variety as the Pinot Noir.
We are here on the flinty, clay soil, right on the Sancerre Peak, at the spot on the east side called "La Demoiselle". The stone is compacted here into a dense layer of sharp, stumbling flints, a soil that is most unfamiliar to the Pinot Noir giving it great originality.
Wine Advocate Review:
The 2019 Sancerre La Demoiselle Rouge opens deep, fresh, pure and intense on the spicy nose that reveals ripe, dark fruit aromas intermixed with iodine notes. Silky, fresh and elegant on the palate, this is a full-bodied, fleshy and persistently vivacious red Sancerre with a lot of power, intensity and tannins. Still young but also quite oxidative. 13% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted in December 2021. Anticipated Maturity: 2022-2028
