Very nice red wine. Drank it with Amytis at La Boissonnière Sentier when I was in Paris 31 May. A very good and full red wine.

Not what you think a Sancerre is. Clean. Not tannic. 2010.

Tart, dried red fruit, raspberry and tart, red cherry, pomegranate. Tannins evidently from use of some new oak. A very nice Pinot indeed.
