2010 Sancerre La Moussière Rouge, Alphonse Mellot
The warm and ripe nose of summer berries, raspberries, strawberries and rhubarb is elegantly held in place by perfectly balanced and sophisticated oak. This enticing scent leads to a palate that is wonderfully concentrated with beautiful depth; pure, sweet red fruit and spice notes. The tannins provide precision, grip and finesse which is supported by a backbone of vibrant and fresh acidity. This is an extremely impressive Pinot Noir from the Loire that is both refined and eminently significant.
