Sancerre is known far and wide for its white wine (the true ancestral home of sauvignon blanc), but 10% of the wine from here is red—made from the pinot noir grape. Light and delicious with the same sort of minerality and crisp acidity that mark this northern, cool climate’s other wines; this pinot noir does more than just bat her pretty eyes! Lovely with red fruit and a hint of oak on the nose, it offers a light and juicy palate and just a touch of tannin. Enjoy with salmon, roast chicken, or simply to sip!
