Domaine Gérard Millet, Sancerre Rouge, Loire, France 2008

100% Pinot Noir. Does not try to overpower the palate, but shows remarkable depth and complexity with restraint and class. Earthen cherry fruit in a tight, bright package - very Burgundian in style. Sancerre vineyards are marked by intense aromatics, fresh acidity, and a dry flinty quality. Ideal with: pork loin, roasted chicken breast, olive spread.
