2003 Cuvée Prestige, Sancerre Rouge, Lucien Crochet


This very deep coloured Sancerre Rouge is very typical of the very hot 2003 vintage. Powerful, concentrated and mouthfilling with rich pruney and figgy fruit, this is atypical of a Loire Pinot Noir – more reminiscent of a wine from further south in France. Although not typical, well made red Sancerre is delicious, incidentally another well-made wine by Gilles Crochet. The 2003 is drinking well now but I'm sure you could keep it for at least another four or five years. Vinve la difference!
