Domaine Hippolyte Reverdy Sancerre Rouge 2016 Review

This is a solid Pinot Noir from Sancerre. It’s a little rough around the edges, as the tannin is still a bit ornery, interfering with the core fruit that brings beautiful cherry and earth aromas. I am sure with a year or so in bottle this will polish off a bit. It’s drinking fine now, and could do well at a dinner party, but might also be a great gift to a wine lover for them to lay down for a while.
