2022 Domaine Pastou Sancerre Rouge, Loire Valley, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
With just a handful of acres on âterres blanches,â the chalky, mineral soils that define Sancerre, the Pastou family crafts a medium-bodied, delightful Sancerre Rouge â pure Pinot Noir. Great with charcuterie and a rustic baguette after a long day! Made exclusively in tank, so every bit of rubied, Pinot fruit is expressed without filter.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The petite village of Sury-en-Vaux, northwest of Sancerre, is the secret home of the extraordinarily character-rich wines of the Pastou family. Winemaker Jean-Marc Pastou for some 30 years has followed a singular calling to make the most honest and terroir-true Sancerre his few acres will give.
His vineyards sit at the highest point in the village, and his older vines (that he planted himself) grow on perfect terroir: the classic chalky stones and flinty soils which give Sancerre its characteristic zip.
We choose from the familyâs few temperature-controlled tanks the most expressive, older-vine Sancerre Blanc to bottle unfined and unfiltered as our âLa CĂŽte de Sury,â a special wine that captures the essence of what great Sancerre should beâenlivening and satisfying, and a great value, too. The estateâs Sancerre Rouge, a limited-release wine from peerless terroir, is exceptional; and the familyâs few acres in Pouilly-FumĂ© deliver a smoky, racy Sauvignon Blanc each vintage.
