Balland Sancerre Rouge La Louisonne

This tiny 6.5 hectare domaine in the Loire was started by Emile Balland in 1999. The Ballands have been making wines in the Loire since 1650 and his father was instrumental in achieving recognition for the young AOC Coteaux du Giennois in the 1980s. La Louisonne is a fruity and dry Sancerre red, 100% Pinot noir. Cool and fresh, and full of summer berries and faintly earthy notes. Ripe, smooth tannins, that give just enough grip on the palate, leading to a mouthwatering finish.
