Salvard Val de Loire Pinot Noir 2023

Emmanuel and Thierry Delaille quietly go about their business producing true, supple wines from the clay and limestone plains of Cheverny in the central Loire. Having worked with the brother’s great-value Sauvignon Blanc for years now, we have turned our attention to the Domaine's tasty Pinot Noir that comes from a small, 1.5-hectare a plot of 10–20-year-old vines. Like its white sibling, this is all tank-fermented and aged. It has plenty of substance to complement the juicy fruit and crunchy redcurrant and pomegranate flavours. It's plump, vibrant palate accompanies a mouth-watering freshness that calls for another sip (or another glass, or another bottle!)
