Sancerre is so renowned for Sauvignon Blanc that many people don't realize this Loire Valley sub-region is also home to exceptional Pinot Noir. 

Pascal et Nicolas Reverdy farm about 18 hectares of vines of both Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir in their little corner of Sancerre. Situated on the steep slopes of Maimbray, most of the vineyards rest on calcareous clay soils that are approximately 157 to 152 million years old, locally referred to as terre blanche or "white earth." Additionally, a specific plot of Pinot Noir, used for the “à Nicolas” cuvée, lies in the lieu-dit “Les Garennes,” between Sancerre and Bué, where the limestone-rich soil further enhances the wine's distinct character.

The 2019 vintage shows the elegance and versatility of Pinot Noir produced from Sancerre's unique terroir. The wine opens with aromas of wild red berries, cherries, and hints of violets, layered with subtle earthy undertones and a whisper of spice. Medium-bodied with silky texture, vibrant acidity and fine tannins.
