Score 93/100 · Drink 2022-2029, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Jan 2022
The deep colored 2018 Sancerre En Grands Champs Rouge is very dark, deep, pure and intense on the slightly perfumed as well as oxidative nose. On the palate, this is a rich and refreshing, refined and elegant red Sancerre with leathery tones but lots of finesse and vitality. Fine tannins carry this perfectly ripe and intense Pinot Nor to a good, food-friendly finish. 13% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted in December 2022.
