LES BARONNES ROUGE
– SANCERRE ROUGE AOC –

Grape variety : Pinot noir
Age of the vines : 25 to 40 years
Terroir : Chalky-clay

Vinification :
This Sancerre rouge is created from Pinot Noir vines growing on
chalky-clay soils. Vinification begins with fermentation in vats
(12 days of maceration) at 26 to 32°c during which time the cap
is punched and the must pumped over twice daily in order to
extract a maximum of color and tannins from the grape skins.
Once the malolactic fermentation is achieved, the wine is
matured for 6 to 8 months in Tronçais forest oak barrels (1/3 of
which are replaced yearly).

Tasting :
This wine with its characteristic connotations of red fruits (cherries, morellos…) is subtly
woody. On the palate, it reveals good roundness and a light, pleasant astringency (tannins
from the grapes as well as the oak barrels) assuring good aging for 8 to 10 years.

Wine and Food :
A fine representation of a Sancerre Pinot Noir wine. The ample
bouquet of Les Baronnes is ideal for your braised and pansautéed
white or red meats.
Glazed roast meats are a perfect match….
Pure pleasure!
