Sancerre Le Graveron 2014 Famille Bourgeois - Loire Valley Red G01

The Famille Bourgeois has been in love with Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc for the 11th generation. The domain covers 72 hectares on the best Terroir of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé appellations. Brought to fruition by Henri Bourgeois over 50 years ago, the vineyards lie on some of the most rugged hillside terrains, offering the best exposures in the Loire Valley.

The vineyard was planted in 1997 on the Kimmeridgian marls of « Chavignol » located west of Sancerre at the end of la Côte des Monts Damnés. The grapes are exclusively sourced from this plot of 1ha 30. Grape variety: 100 % Pinot Noir.

A deep-colored wine with garnet shades which is presenting a complex nose of blackberry and fresh caramel notes.

It then opens on intense notes of red fruits, chocolate and spices. The attack is fresh.

The fine and silky tannins give a full-bodied wine that has a lacy structure. « Le Graveron » is unctuous with a brilliant end on notes of chocolate-flavoured red fruits.
