Domaine La Croix St Laurent, Sancerre Rouge, Loire, France 2019

Red Sancerre is a classic choice when it comes to reds to serve slightly chilled. This one, made by a small family domaine based in Bué, is quite generous in style – a character of the 2019 vintage – and seduces with ripe raspberry and blueberry fruit. There's an attractive chalkiness to it too, and the structure to handle food. Textbook.
