Even though when someone mentions Sancerre they usually mean white wine, I love Red Sancerre as they usually taste just like what I imagine when thinking "Hmm, today I want a Pinot Noir"
Excellent video! I love when you're on location, you're a wonderful travel host in a very specific wine-way. That sounds confusing but I know what I'm saying. 😄
Paldies again for another great video, Agnese. One question: in your experience in the region, are all single vineyards better than blends made from different crus? I haven't tried many Sancerre yet but I don't want it to have the same fate as the crus of Barolo with skyrocketing prices, so it would be nice to know whether the simpler Sancerre are on the same level of the single vineyards - or at least not so far from them.
Well… i think it really depends on the wine maker and the specific single vineyard. There will be producers who will continue to blend their wines from several vineyards and their quality can be very high. And there will be winemakers who will be bottling their single vineyard wines because they can be sold for higher price. (As You mentioned). But that will also mean that 🤷♀️theoretically higher quality wine will be withdrawn from the blend, thus again, 🤷♀️ theoretically reducing the quantity of the blend. 🤫 Does this makes sense, the way I explained?
@@NoSediment thanks for your reply, it makes perfect sense, don't worry about that 😅 in any case, I just hope Sancerre prices don't follow Piedmont or Burgundy...
I am sorry for such a long pause, I was focusing on my exam and rarely answered to more complex questions, like Yours. 😉 Vincent Pinard is one of the best known producers of the region, and I am not sure about their current price (different sources show wide range), but I think Sancerre (comparing quality with other top regions) offers great price. Saying that, I would be much happier to purchase these bottles for price closer to 50$ rather than 100$. But the wines You mentioned are amongst those Sauvignon Blancs that can certainly age. 🤷♀️
Its weird in scottish pubs i could only get shiraz,merlot,pinot grigio and if im lucky rioja,,if i asked for sancerre they wouldnt know what i was talking about
Yeap, great wine and no headache, Tours the place to go

I wonder will red grape plantings could increase with time - as people will be looking for value PN outside from Burgundy .. 🤔🤫
Niceeee main shot!! Enjoy your visits. I’m lately a big fan of Sancerre Rouge
Thank You! It was really nice trip, right before the exam! ✨ Hopefully I didn’t sabotage it. 😬
Good to see I agree on this with one of my favourite wine UA-camrs! I can't get enough of their fresh minerality!
Drink Sancere when I can find it on a wine list, and it cinches my choices on the menu to fresh seafoods. Thanks for more background on the region.
Yes, it offers great value and pairs beautifully with variety of seafood, I agree! 🙌🍾
France is A Lovely Nation Drinking Wine near the Eiffel Tower is Dreamy
Hahaha, I wish that was exactly true! ✨
Very interesting video,it provides a broader view of Sancerre, linked not only to the fresh & zesty wine
Stunning video production quality and good information delivery 👏🏻
Thank You. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Very sweet of You to say that! 🥂💫
Excellent video! I love when you're on location, you're a wonderful travel host in a very specific wine-way. That sounds confusing but I know what I'm saying. 😄
Thank You. 🙏🏻 I guess it means I should film more videos on the spot. Something to think about for me! ✨🍾
You make a great point: Sancerre wines don't have to be YOUNG to be enjoyed! Awesome video!
Yes, they can actually age quite beautifully. ☺️ Thank You. 🙏🏻✨
Great fun! Speaking of the Loire region, would you consider doing a video about wines of Chinon?
Sure, there are so many regions and grapes I haven’t explored. And I want to explore Loire more. ✨
Great video!👍👍👍👍👍 P.S.: gat cheese and Sancerre is really greaät!👍👍👍👍👍
Yes, I love it. And the goat cheese there is also really, really good! 🍷
Love Sancerre Rouge, so good and great value vs Burgundy
Yes, it definitely is! 🍷🍷🍷

Very informative well produced. Question VINCENT PINARD Chene Marchard and Grand Chemarin ? Value for $ Regards

Sauv Blanc and Camembet
Sounds perfect for me! 😋😉

I think it is simply not the right market there, that is all.
For the love of Pete, Sancerre better not implement a cru system like Burgundy. I want affordable Loire AOC Sauvignon Blanc.
I was laughing so much when read Your answer! 😅😅😂😂😂
You and I know sediment
