2022 Reuilly Rouge, Les Pierres Plates, Denis Jamain, Loire

Description

The village of Reuilly, just to the west of Sancerre, is perhaps best known for its white wines made from Sauvignon Blanc. However, canny buyers should not overlook this excellent-value alternative to red Burgundy. This unoaked expression of Pinot Noir from the warm and sunny 2022 vintage offers a vibrant bouquet of summer berries that soar from the glass. The palate is juicy, crunchy and succulent, with elegant, chalky tannins and a fine thread of thirst-quenching acidity. Enjoy this charming wine lightly chilled, with cold meats, salads and fresh cheeses.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
