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: In the wine glass this wine was a darker red with a tint of purple. This Pinot Noir had a distinct strawberry smell to it. On the palate this was a very smooth wine. Strawberry flavors emerged that were in tune with the smells. The finish was very smooth as well.
I did not drink this wine with food.
