The Great French Wines: SANCERRE
Sancerre is a small wine appellation, located in the Loire Valley in France. It is famous for its white wines made from Sauvignon Blanc grape, however it offers also great red and rose wines made from Pinot Noir grape.

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"

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

Good to see I agree on this with one of my favourite wine KZreadrs! I can't get enough of their fresh minerality!
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. 🙏🏻✨
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.

Very interesting video,it provides a broader view of Sancerre, linked not only to the fresh & zesty wine
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. 😄

Great fun! Speaking of the Loire region, would you consider doing a video about wines of Chinon?

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 But that will also mean that 🤷♀️theoretically higher quality wine will be withdrawn from the blend, thus again, 🤷♀️ theoretically reducing the quantity of the blend.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 think it is simply not the right market there, that is all.
Very informative well produced. Question VINCENT PINARD Chene Marchard and Grand Chemarin ? Value for $ Regards

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. 🤷♀️
For the love of Pete, Sancerre better not implement a cru system like Burgundy. I want affordable Loire AOC Sauvignon Blanc.
