Hubert Brochard Sancerre Rouge 2023

Ruby colour with brilliant highlights. Subtle red fruit aromas, such as strawberry, with a hint of pepper. A delightful freshness, supported by a delicate minerality and supple tannins. Strawberry makes a comeback, complemented by violet candy.

For this cuvée, the start is in the clay-limestone parcels of Chavignol (with hint of marly limestone), from Ménétréol and Amigny. The Pinot Noir grapes are picked exclusively by hand before being completely destemmed and vinified in stainless steel vats. Maceration lasts between 25 and 28 days, with some pumping over.

The wine is then patiently matured, once again in stainless steel vats. The process of to reveal the best of Sancerre terroirs lasts for seven to eight months. Pure, precise expression of every aspect of the Sancerre terroir. Clay-limestone parcels of Chavignol (with hint of marly limestone), from Ménétréol and Amigny. Hand-harvested, total destemming. Vinified in stainless steel vats, maceration between 25 and 28 days, with little pumping over.

Ageing in stainless steel vats for 7 to 8 months. Exceptional conditions can have a magical effect. The grapes harvested turned out to be of the highest quality, combining the fullness of the fruit with exquisite acidity, to achieve a remarkable balance.
