Description

J. de Villebois is a family winery owned by Joost and Miguela de Willebois. Over the last 15 years, Villebois has become one of the leading Sauvignon Blanc producers in the Loire Valley with a unique range of Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir wines cultivated in its own vineyards. Villebois wines win multiple awards year-in, year-out at French and international wine contests. Sancerre Rouge wines perfectly illustrates the virtues of the Pinot Noir grape variety. They are fragrant, elegant, fine, and have delicate aromas of red berries, ranging from cherries to black currants. They are well_x0002_balanced, supple, and have a powerful palate. Both rich and complex, Sancerre Rouge is a reference for great Loire wine lovers. After being hand-picked, the grapes are sorted and destemmed. A cold-soak maceration is done for a week before the fermentation begins. The extraction is done by pigeages and pumpovers for 10-15 days. To preserve its style and flavors, our Pinot Noir is aged in stainless steel tanks, with a small percentage aged in oak barrels. This Sancerre is then bottled in spring after a very light filtration. Some sediments may appear at the bottom of the bottle.
