Riffault Les Quarterons 2011 Sancerre Rouge

A red Sancerre from Sébastien Riffault, made entirely from Pinot Noir in the Loire. The vines grow in soil rich in clay and limestone and are farmed to organic and biodynamic standards. Les Quarterons is an elegant, expressive Pinot Noir with crisp tannin, and it gains charm with the years. It suits white meats and mushrooms. On the nose there are red fruits, undergrowth, and spicy and herbaceous hints. The palate is balanced and elegant, with perfectly integrated tannin.
