Claude Riffault: Sancerre Rouge La Noue 2019

Galloni über: Sancerre Rouge La Noue

-- Galloni: This 2019 La Noue is an elegant and refined expression of Sancerre Pinot Noir produced on Kimmeridgian soil. The wine shows a red cherry, lightly floral character. There's a wonderful chalky texture and tannic structure that coats the palate and provides. It's an attractive and elegant style with a lovely line of tension that draws this out on the long finish. From the same fruit, Riffault also made an elegant La Noue M.T., with 30 months of élevage. Currently, the shorter maturation version (18 months) gives a wine that's more open and more attractive; the longer maturation has given a more chunky expression that somewhat hides the pretty fruit but with time, that may change.
