My article on the on-going red revolution in the Central Vineyards has now been published in Decanter. It was due to appear earlier in the year but unfortunately publication got delayed. Here is a brief taster:
'Sancerre’s red revolution gathers pace

Unfortunately due to lack of space the wine I recommended from Fabien Geoffrenet was cut, here are the details:
Châteaumeillant
Two stars 14 points
2007 Extra Version, Domaine Geoffrenet-Morval 8.20€
From 80% Pinot Noir, 20% Gamay, this has attractive red fruits with some complexity. (Now-2010)

Congratulation ... always good to be published?. it is always hard work...
Are u in Portugal or in France or in UK?
Thanks Aynard.
The article was based to an important extent on the large tasting of Central Vineyard reds held in mid-December 2008 and organised by the Bureau du Centre.
I shall be looking out for it Jim.
I've finally read the article and was surprised to learn that there's almost more Pinot planted in Sancerre than the entire acreage under vine in Malta. Thanks for the figures; I always find them so useful to put things in perspective.
George – thanks and interesting perspective on both Pinot in Sancerre and Malta.
