Vincent Gaudry Sancerre Rouge Vincengetorix 2021: Dark Fruit Elegance

Isla McCallister — One of my favourites this year

9/10

I've been getting into French Pinot Noir lately and this Vincent Gaudry is absolutely class. The blackcurrant and tobacco on the finish just keeps going and going. 13% so it doesn't knock you sideways either. Already ordered another bottle.

Carlos Mendez — Solid Sancerre red

7/10

Most people think Sancerre is just white wine so this was a fun surprise from my local wine shop. It's a Pinot Noir but way darker and richer than most I've had. Smooth finish with a nice cedar-ish warmth. Good stuff, just wish it was a bit cheaper.

Zoe Chen — Perfect dinner party wine

8/10

Had this at a friend's place and immediately asked where she got it. There's this dark fruit thing with a bit of leather and spice that makes it feel really grown-up without being stuffy. Picked up a bottle the next day. Goes great with a cheese board.
