Sancerre rouge, François Crochet - 2020

Provenance: Loire
Appellation: Sancerre
Domain: François Crochet
Grape variety(ies): Pinot noir
On-call time: 7 years
Alcohol degree: 14%

At first glance, one can guess the love this winemaker has for pinot noir. It has to be said that François Crochet travels in his spare time in Burgundy and that he is very fond of pinot, vinified here partially in whole grapes. Delicious and appetizing notes of cherry which testify to the quality of the fruit, the tannins are crisp, silky, well extracted, acidic in flavour, but juicy.

Technique

Viticulture

The vines for this cuvée are planted on limestone and clay-limestone soils. They have an average age of 25 years. They are disbudded and cultivated using sustainable methods, with green harvesting if necessary. Depending on their location, they are partly grassed, with the soil under the vines being worked. The grapes are harvested by hand with a rigorous sorting of the bunches. The target yield is 45 hl/ha.

Oenology

The grapes are completely destemmed. After a cold maceration, the fermentations take place. Vatting lasts 15 to 25 days. The wine is aged for 18 months, 50% in vats and the rest in 228 litre containers. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration.
