Domaine Girault Sancerre Rouge, made from Pinot Noir grapes, offers a tasting experience with notes of red fruits like cherries and berries, with floral hints and a touch of earthiness. It’s known for its balanced, refined character and a medium-bodied palate with red fruit ripeness and latent acidity. Some tasters also note citrus (like grapefruit), spice (jalapeno, pepper), and earthy (cocoa, iron) notes. 

Pinot Noir grape blend.
