Product Description

Overview

Winery: Jean Reverdy

Jean Reverdy Sancerre Rose Les Villots 2011 is made from 100% Pinot Noir. 90% press wine, 10% saignee from the Pinot Noir Rouge.
Lean and light with apricot and red currant aromas.
Pairs well with poultry and spicy food.

"The Les Villots Rosé reveals a pale salmon color and a delicate nose of dried cherry with an earth/herbal note. It has a delicate palate of lightly flavored cherry with dried fruit notes and minerals. The palate is dry with some astringency and relatively high acidity. Judging from previous vintages, this wine should improve with further aging and merit a higher rating."
- I-WineReview (April 2012), 88 pts

"The 2011 Sancerre Les Villots, a rose from 10% Pinot Noir, displays notes of cranberry, strawberry and roasted herbs. It is fresh and medium-bodied, with piercing acidity. The color is a very light pink."

The Domaine Jean Reverdy Estate

This Domaine is located in Verdigny, one of the top villages in Sancerre. It dates back to 1650 and has been in the family for about 10 generations. Originally the family was growing vines and diverse polycultures, but since the 1950’s they have been focusing on producing wine only. Christophe Reverdy, son of the late Jean Reverdy, now produces around 100,000 bottles per year on average and exports 70% of the total production to UK, Germany, Sweden, Japan and the USA.

The Domaine Jean Reverdy Vineyard

The Domaine spreads over 12 hectares (29.64 acres): 9 hectares Sauvignon, 3 hectares Pinot Noir, and produces red, rose and white wine. The age of the vines is 25 years and older. The vineyard is divided into 15 parcels located on the hills of Verdigny, Saint Satur, Sancerre and Thauvenay.

The vineyards are planted on three different types of soil:

- silicious-clay soils, "Terres a Silex" (east of the hills) - 55%

- pebbly limestone soils, known as the "Caillottes" - 35%

- clay and limestone white soils, the "Terres Blanches" (west of the hills) - 10%

The vineyard of Sancerre measures 2,500 hectares (6,175 acres) total and spreads over 14 communes: Bannay, Bué, Crezancy, Menetou-Ratel, Menetreol, Montigny, St-Satur, Ste-Gemme, Sancerre, Sury-en-Vaux, Thauvenay, Veaugues, Verdigny and Vinon.

The Sancerre A.O.C. was created in 1936 for the white wines and in 1959 for the reds.
