Domaine Vacheron Sancerre Belle Dame rouge 2019 1,5l

Sancerre Belle Dame Rouge from Domaine Vacheron is a biodynamic single-vineyard Pinot Noir grown on flinty silex soils. In the glass it shows a muted garnet colour with hints of violet. The nose is deep and complex, offering wild raspberry, mulberry, blackcurrant, elderberry and sloe wrapped in wood smoke, liquorice, cinnamon and dark chocolate. On the palate Belle Dame is powerful yet silky, with concentrated dark fruit, fine grained tannins, precise acidity and a pronounced smoky, mineral tension. The long, layered finish echoes red berries, spice and wet stone, giving the wine an almost Burgundian refinement. A serious Sancerre rouge that pairs beautifully with duck breast, slow cooked game birds or mature Chavignol goat’s cheese.

Two-stage oak ageing combines French oak with additional maturation in large oak casks, highlighting depth, spice and mineral tension.
