Domaine Roc de l’Abbaye Florian Mollet L’Antique Sancerre Rouge 2020
Terrior: 100% flint
Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir
Colour: An intense peony red colour.
Nose: The nose is discreet at first, opening on violets and black fruit such as blackberry and blueberry and hints of menthol and grey pepper.
Palate: The wine is full-bodied, with tannins that are firm but already well rounded, and a long, juicy cherry finish.
Pairs well with lentil dahl, braised duckling with turnips or chocolate-based desserts.
"Baked strawberries, cherries and some sweet cinnamon. A light cocoa dusting to the fruit, too. Medium body with wild strawberries and sour cherries. Very juicy, with a nice, fruit-expressive finish. Drink now." - 90 points, James Suckling
