This region is famous for its white wines made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, but it also produces excellent red and rosé wines from Pinot Noir grapes, such as Sancerre Rouge Compte Lafonde. The territory of Sancerre is characterized by a temperate climate, with cold winters and warm summers, and limestone and clay soils, ideal for growing Pinot Noir grapes. The vineyards are situated on steep hillsides, which provide excellent sun exposure and good ventilation, factors that contribute to optimal grape ripening. The production of Sancerre Rouge Compte Lafonde begins with manual harvesting of the Pinot Noir grapes, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels for a period ranging from 12 to 18 months, depending on the vintage. This aging process gives the wine a balanced and complex tannic structure, with notes of red fruit, spice and wood.
