"The 2014 Sancerre La Moussière Red is fine and very elegant on the beautifully pure, deep, quite intense and floral nose that is reminiscent of red rather than black cassis, black berries, lemon rind, leather and, with aeration, plums, indicating a certain sweetness and openness. It is a bit volatile perhaps but still in an acceptable way. Still young but very elegant and finessed on the palate, this is a full-bodied, dense and tightly structured yet pure Sancerre rouge with a silky texture, a juicy fruit core and an only initially slightly astringent finish. This has good length and concentration, and aeration helps to reduce the astringency on the finish. Tasted in January and February 2021."
Winemaker Notes:
"Very fine deep crimson color, nose of ripe raspberries, currants, mulberries and morello cherries, with notes of pink peppercorns, vanilla, and cinnamon. On the palate, it is mellow, well rounded and well structured with a woody background with spicy traces and aromas of fruit."
Alcohol: 13%
