Winery Review: In the heart of France’s Loire River
Valley lies the Touraine wine region. Although it produces vast amounts of well-priced, fresh, mostly white wines, lovely reds like this are broadening
Touraine’s appeal. This wine may seem familiar to you. It is a sibling of the Touraine Sauvignon Blanc we’ve offered for years. Serge de Bucy employs a light touch in his winemaking, using no wood and doing as little as possible to preserve freshness. Bright cherry and strawberry fruits are followed by a soft, smooth palate.
My Review: The nose of this Pinot Noir offered aromas of sweet dark grapes, while also providing scents of heavy sugar or some berry flavored gum. The taste was good, but also peculiar. It had a musty taste almost like baby powder, while also giving off hints of women's perfume. Even though all these flavors came through, it also tasted delicate and light in alcohol.
I did not have this wine with food.
