About this wine
We cracked the code for summer! Glorious, delectable, absolutely CRUSHABLE Pinot Noir from a favorite Sancerre Superstar for UNDER $20! Monday morning…you’ve got NOTHING on this! Y’all know about Sancerre Rouge, right? The rising star of the Loire Valley, that is grabbing up acreage — with TONS of new plantings across the region — snatching and stitching plots together like Mark Zuckerberg does to Tahoe lake front properties?!?! Well, this is JUST like that…but for way, way less money! Prepare to FEAST!!! BERNARD FLEURIET ET FILS have arrived! We’ve been grabbing their Sancerre Blanc and Menetou-Salon offerings for YEARS — but this new, cannot-be-had-ANYWHERE-else Vin de France is a hot, FRESH newcomer that you’re gonna crave like air-conditioning all spring and summer long!!! If you like that drop-dead pretty, ethereal, lean, and laser-focused style (similar to the Eden Rift bottlings we’ve featured of late…) then THIS baby has your name stamped all over it! The brothers, Mathieu and Benoît Fleuriet, have taken the reins on their father Bernard’s estate — and these WINEMAKING WIZARDS are pumping out the most vibrant, utterly ELECTRIC wines in this young domaine’s history! They are making some serious moves to shake up the very foundations of Sancerre and the Loire Valley itself — just recently acquiring the luminary holdings of PASCAL COTAT! That means you're gonna start seeing cherished sites like Les Monts Damnés, and La Grande Côte, and MORE! This is your chance to get in before these folks EXPLODE into the upper echelon of Loire Valley’s tippy-top BEST producers — at the sort of price you can only dream of!!! This light, bright, and deliciously piquant bottle of 100% PINOT NOIR goodness is crafted EXACTLY like Sancerre Rouge, using a huge chunk of fruit from the estate’s Sancerre plantings, blended with the just-down-the-road Pinot Noir from the estate in Menetou-Salon, plus partners in Touraine and the Haute Loire. Just imagine — the soul-stirring, deeply complex Pinot Noir from their prime Sancerre plots with the high-toned, electric fruit from other Kimmeridgian soil plots scattered across the Loire. It’s a no-holds barred brawler that delivers some serious cash-saving alchemy of the highest order! FOR JUST $17!!! 100% ORGANIC and DEMETER CERTIFIED BIODYNAMIC! Vinified with indigenous yeasts, spontaneous fermentations, and minimal sulfur... just pure, unadulterated terroir expression of the Loire’s best that POPS!!! Aged in concrete tanks to keep it CRUNCHY — this little beauty explodes with wild strawberries, tart cherries, and crushed violets aplenty. And that signature "limestone-meets-flint" mineral spark that makes Sancerre soils so legendary? You bet! Fine-grained, silky tannins that BEG for you to pop another bottle, but with enough bite and structure to leave you pondering and tasting ‘till long after the sun goes down. This is THE BOTTLE you need for every spring fling, every outdoor concert where you’re hiding a bottle in your bag, and every summertime BBQ where the burgers are charred and the vibes are flowing. Consider this the MISSION-CRITICAL component for those poorly planned nautical excursions on a rental pontoon boat with two coolers of beverages and NOT A SINGLE DROP OF SUNSCREEN. Whatever the next six months throws your way — a bottle or three of this baby will keep the smiles easy and the lip a’smacking…no question. Baby Sancerre Rouge at an incredible $17…what more could you ask for??? LOAD UP! While it lasts! **Heads up, Last Bottlers!
